Summary
Amir Sohrabi is a Staff Development Engineer with 11 years of expertise in computational solid mechanics, CAE, and advanced finite element simulation applied to tire design and multifunctional materials. He combines deep academic rigor—a PhD from Texas A&M and novel FORTRAN-based FE codes for piezoelectric, electro-mechanical coupling—with practical industry impact at Goodyear, Cooper, and Endurica producing virtual tire models and hydroplaning and noise/vibration prediction tools. Skilled in Abaqus, ANSYS, HPC, and time-domain simulation, he bridges theory and production by delivering predictive tools used in vehicle dynamics and material fatigue assessment. Amir has a track record of inventing simulation methods (including coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian implementations) and mentoring cross-functional, global teams to adopt them. Unusually, he pairs aerospace-inspired morphing-structure research with hands-on application to tire and manufacturing problems, making him fluent in both high-fidelity research code and industrial CAE workflows. Based in Akron, Ohio, he thrives at the intersection of research-grade modeling and product-driven engineering.
