Maryam Bostani, Ph.D., P.Eng., PMP
AI Practice Lead, Bridges & Structures
The intersection of artificial intelligence and bridge engineering is not about replacing traditional expertise; it is about strengthening it. It is about using data more intelligently to support safer, more strategic infrastructure decisions.
Maryam serves as our AI practice lead for bridges and structures, bringing more than 15 years of research and industry experience in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to complex engineering challenges.
A registered professional engineer in Canada, her work has focused on developing AI-based bridge management systems that enhance life-cycle planning and support data-informed investment decisions. In her research and professional work, she explores how AI can help forecast condition changes, prioritize maintenance, and support long-term planning.
She has served as an adjunct professor at Brown University and contributed to research under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). She is also active in AI-related committees within the Transportation Research Board (TRB), the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC), and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies (ACEC).
