Davood Younesian received BSc degree from K.N.T. University, Tehran, Iran in 1998 and MSc and PhD degrees from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran in 2000 and 2004, respectively, all in Mechanical Engineering. He was awarded two post-doctoral fellowships in nonlinear and random vibration of flexible structures at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, Southampton, UK and at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa, Canada from 2004 to 2005. Dr. Younesian joined the School of Railway Engineering of Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran where he is currently a professor. In 2016 he spent one- year sabbatical leave at the Mechanical Engineering Department, University of California at Berkeley, USA. Since 2012 he is an Honorary Member of the International Research Center for Mathematics & Mechanics of Complex Systems, L’Aquila in Italy, Head of the Center of Excellence in Railway Engineering and Vice-President of the Iranian Society of Acoustics and Vibrations. He has authored more than 200 refereed journal and conference papers in the areas of dynamics, vibration and control. He serves at the Editorial Boards of several international and national journals. Professor Younesian has received many prestigious awards and recognition certificates. In 2005, he was selected as one of the key scientists in Computational Science and Engineering, by Saxe-Coburg Institute, UK. He was awarded Medal for the Chair of the Young Scientists in Engineering Science by the Iran Academy of Sciences in 2015. Recently he received the 2017 Agnew/Goodall prize from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, UK.
