Amir A. Bahadori is an associate professor and Steve Hsu Keystone Research Faculty Scholar in the Alan Levin Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State University. He earned BS degrees in Mechanical Engineering with Nuclear Engineering Option and Mathematics from KSU in 2008. Bahadori attended graduate school at the University of Florida, earning the MS in Nuclear Engineering Sciences in 2010 and the PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2012. Bahadori was employed at NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center from 2010 to 2015, with work focused on astronaut radiation risk projection and assessment, space radiation dosimetry using active pixel detectors, and space radiation transport with deterministic and Monte Carlo-based codes. He returned to KSU as an assistant professor in 2015 and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2021, where he teaches courses in nuclear/radiological engineering and conducts research with focus areas in radiation protection, radiation transport applications, and semiconductor detector modeling and simulation. Bahadori has been certified in the comprehensive practice of health physics by the American Board of Health Physics since 2015. He was a student member of ANS from 2005-2011 and rejoined the Society in 2016. Since then, he has served ANS as Secretary of RPSD (2019-2021), RPSD Technical Program Chair (2021-present), RPSD Executive Committee Member (2021-Present), Rapid Response Taskforce Member (2021-Present), and Environmental and Siting Consensus Committee Full Member (2021-Present). Bahadori led the recent revision to ANS Position Statement 41 on Risks of Exposure to Low-Level Ionizing Radiation and the corresponding Background Information document.
