About
Dr. Saham Mirzaei is a leading researcher in the field of railway tribology and optical sensing, with a primary focus on enhancing rail infrastructure safety and maintenance. His most notable contribution is the development of an innovative optical sensing system that utilizes laser-induced fluorescence to detect and monitor lubricity conditions on the rail gage face. This groundbreaking work, published in 2024, provides a non-contact, real-time method for assessing the effectiveness of gage-face greases used by U.S. Class I railroads. By analyzing the fluorescence properties of eight commonly applied lubricants, Dr. Mirzaei’s system enables precise identification of lubrication states, directly addressing critical challenges in rail wear and friction management. Although his research is still emerging, his work has already garnered attention, with his most cited paper accumulating 3 citations in its first year. This achievement underscores the practical relevance and potential of his approach for the railroad industry. Dr. Mirzaei’s contributions are paving the way for smarter, data-driven maintenance strategies, positioning him as an emerging authority in applied optical sensing for transportation infrastructure.
