Kansas State University
Amir Bahadori earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering with Nuclear Engineering Option and Mathematics from Kansas State University in 2008. He then attended graduate school at the University of Florida, graduating in 2010 with a Master of Science degree in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering and in 2012 with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Biomedical Engineering. Bahadori worked as a contractor for NASA Johnson Space Center from 2010 to 2013 and then as a civil servant from 2013 to 2015, with work focused on astronaut radiation risk projection and assessment, space radiation dosimetry using active pixel detectors, and space radiation transport using deterministic and Monte Carlo-based codes. He returned to Kansas State University as an assistant professor in December 2015, where he teaches courses related to nuclear and radiological engineering and conducts research with focus areas in space radiation protection, radiation transport applications, and semiconductor detector modeling and simulation. Since 2015, Bahadori has been certified in the comprehensive practice of health physics by the American Board of Health Physics. In addition to ANS membership, he is a member of the Health Physics Society, International Radiation Physics Society, and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Bahadori is also an associate of the Committee on Space Research of the International Council for Science.
