Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSarven Akçelyan is an engineering software programmer and structural engineer with five years of professional experience combining numerical simulation, seismic design and performance-based assessment of tall steel buildings. He developed nonlinear structural analysis tools (including Python and C++ models implemented in OpenSees) and led research on retrofit strategies using supplemental damping devices validated against full-scale shake-table data. A former McGill instructor and assistant professor, he has taught advanced structural dynamics and nonlinear analysis while co-developing novel material models for viscous and oil dampers and buckling-restrained braces. Now based in Istanbul and currently at RJC Engineers, he bridges academic rigor and practical delivery by turning research-grade models into usable analysis software. Notably, his work produced a prototype design tool for tall buildings with supplemental dampers and an in-development Python nonlinear analysis program, reflecting a rare mix of hands-on coding and deep earthquake-engineering expertise.
