Our mission at AICrete is to revolutionize the global concrete operations by significantly increasing profitability, sustainability, efficiency, and productivity in real-time through our transformative all-in-one AI-powered operating system, AICreteOS, harnessing the power of AI, machine learning, computer vision, software, and automation.
Our story began with a simple idea: to use artificial intelligence to transform concrete operations. Our founder, Parham Aghdasi, saw an opportunity to increase profitability and sustainability while improving efficiency and productivity. He assembled a team of experts in concrete engineering, AI, and software development to create AICreteOS. Since then, we’ve successfully completed 14 proof-of-concept projects and have saved concrete producers an average of $2.64 per cubic yard of concrete. AICrete has also avoided 22,855 tons of CO2 emissions thus far. We’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the concrete industry.
Parham was born and raised in Iran. Growing up, he loved learning, but his family did not have many financial resources, nor access to fancy private schools or teachers. After finishing high school, he started studying atomic physics at an Iranian university in 2006 before he was expelled for being a Baháʼí (a religious minority systematically persecuted in Iran). To pursue higher education, his only option was to go to an underground university (the Baháʼí Institute for Higher Education, or BIHE). He obtained his BS in Civil Engineering in 2011 from BIHE and was immediately accepted to the University of Texas at Arlington for his Master's. He left Iran at the age of 23 with only $6,000 in cash—just enough to pay half of his out-of-state tuition for the first semester, let alone living expenses and the rest of his tuition. But, by proving himself to his professors, and winning many different scholarships, fellowships, and research and instructor assistantships, he managed to finish his studies at UT Arlington, pave his way to a full-ride PhD program at UC Berkeley, and get his PhD in structural materials (concrete) without going into debt.
He has spent 10+ years of his life developing concrete composites for various projects from earthquake resistant moment-frame systems, ultra-high performance concrete for the DoD, multi-functional façade systems for energy-efficient buildings in Singapore, to deep ultra-high speed train tunnels in Japan, to mention a few. After his postdoc at Berkeley, he immediately launched AICrete in pursuit of his dream: to hasten the coming of age of predictable, cost-effective, durable, and sustainable concrete. Parham lives in California with his wife Katie and daughter Gloria, where they are involved in community-building activities and empowerment of youth.
