He has a theoretical background in solid and fracture mechanics, non-linear structural analysis, and optimization, and extensive practical experience as a structural engineer. His research focuses on developing structural optimization algorithms aimed at creating smarter and more efficient structures.<\/p>\n<p>Zelickman is currently working on several projects in the field of structural design and optimization, which span different system scales and a variety of physical phenomena. His work includes leveraging optimization techniques to explore new architectures for structural batteries, material discovery and characterization, and concrete structural systems.<\/p>\n<p>Zelickman has been honored with the Nezer Prize for outstanding research in the analysis and design of structures. He is also an active member of the Optimal Structural Design Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineer\u2019s Structural Engineering Institute, underscoring his dedication to development of the field of structural optimization and outreach in the engineering community.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining Johns Hopkins faculty, Zelickman completed his postdoctoral fellowship with JHU\u2019s Department of Civil and Systems Engineering. He earned his BSc, MSc, and PhD\u2014all in structural engineering\u2014from the Technion \u2013 Israel Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4304","people","type-people","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Yakov Zelickman - Doctor of Engineering<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/faculty\/yakov-zelickman\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Yakov Zelickman - Doctor of Engineering\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Yakov Zelickman is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering.
