       Yashar Khalighi

        Ph.D Candidate

Yashar Khalighi is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of British Columba. His research is currently focused on the bond between FRP and Concrete. Under the supervision of Dr. Banthia, Yashar has developed a new testing procedure to evaluate the bond between FRP and Concrete. This novel specimen is then used to study the impact response of bond. Yashar has received his Master's from Sharif University of Technology, Iran where he studied the Influence of Polymer treatment of No-fines Concrete.
