M.Eng. in Coastal Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, the University of Tokyo, Japan. M.Sc., Civil Engineering, University of Tehran, Iran. Employment History Professional Technical Experience and Penta-Ocean Construction, Tokyo, Associate Professor, University of Tokyo, Associate Professor, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Baird & Associates, 2001 present Dr. Dibajnia is an internationally recognized expert in coastal processes and has developed state-of-the-art models for sediment transport and morphology analysis. He has 22 years of experience as a coastal engineer with strong academic background allowing him to solve challenging problems through an understanding of the underlying processes. His working experience goes back to when he worked for Mahab Consultants, Tehran, working on design of water supply and sewer systems for Iranian cities. After completing his Ph.D, Dr. Dibajnia worked for the Design and Engineering Dept., Penta-Ocean Construction Co. Ltd., Tokyo from 1991 to During this period he worked on problems of harbor shoaling, design of harbor layout and structures, conducting field measurements and numerical modeling. He was invited to join the Department of Civil

2 Engineering, University of Tokyo in 1993 as an Associate Professor of Coastal Engineering Laboratory, and moved to the Department of Civil Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology, in During this period, Dr. Dibajnia taught a variety of Hydraulic, Hydrodynamic and Coastal Engineering courses and developed research programs, while continuing to be an advisor to Japanese organizations and consultant companies. Dr. Dibajnia focused his research activities on the solution of real engineering problems. Since joining Baird in 2001, Dr. Dibajnia has managed several projects encompassing field investigations of nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport, numerical modeling of coastal processes, erosion control and beach protection design, beach nourishment, harbor sedimentation, coastal zone management and environmental assessment. Dr. Dibajnia is a Registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario Canada and he has two post-graduate degrees in Coastal Engineering and Processes. Dr. Dibajnia has been in contact with several Iranian private and governmental agencies for several years regarding Coastal Engineering projects and is familiar with most of the Iranian coastlines and their problems. Dr. Dibajnia has had long-term cooperation with Iranian Fisheries Agency (Shilaat). He has also published the book Guidelines to Design of Fishery Harbors in Farsi in a joint effort with Shilaat Professional Membership Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario Canadian Society of Civil Engineers Canadian Coastal Science and Engineering Association Dibajnia, M., Nairn, R., and Selegean, J.
