The expert field of Dr. Kiani is mathamtical modelling of structures range from nano- to macro-scales. Several of these fields have been briefly mentioned in the following: (*) Vibrations of macro scale structures due to moving masses, Nonlocal continuum-based modeling of nanostructures, Interaction of moving nanoparticles with nanotube structures and nanoplates, Nanofluidic flow-induced vibrations in nanotube structures, Magneto-thermo-elastic vibrations of nanostructures, Vibrations of magnetically affected current-carrying nanowires and their interactions via nonlocal-surface elasticity models, Dynamic analysis of poroelastic structures acted upon by dynamic loads, Mechanics of damages and defects in macro scale structures, Modeling of reinforcement corrosion and its effects on the surrounding matrix, Computational mechanics: Mathematical modeling and analyzing of nano/macro structures using meshless methods (such as reproducing kernel particle method, element free Galerkin, generalized moving least square method) as well as finite element and finite difference methods
Additionally, Dr. Kiani is the author of more than 95 ISI papers. During the pas five years, he has been the potential reviewer of more than 60 esteemed ISI journals of applied physics, mathematics, and engineering. Until now, he has reviewed more than 250 papers for such journals.
