Yazdanbakhsh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the City College of New York and in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Program at the CUNY Graduate Center. His research lies at the intersection of civil and environmental engineering, data science, and sustainability. A major focus of his current work is the use of statistical and machine-learning methods for spatiotemporal and time-series analysis of complex environmental and engineering data. His research includes natural-hazard modeling, particularly the analysis of wildfire ignition and risk, as well as forecasting changes in infrastructure-related demand and material and waste flows

Yazdanbakhsh also conducts research on sustainable construction materials and resource use, including life-cycle assessment, construction and demolition waste management, and the use of recycled materials in concrete and other construction materials. His research has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. He has also led interdisciplinary workshops and conference sessions aimed at strengthening collaboration between engineering and statistics and expanding the use of modern data-analytic methods in engineering research.
