Biography
Afrouz Ghaemi is a Research Assistant in Engineering, Energy and Environment at Cardiff University's School of Engineering, with a background in industrial engineering, AI model integration, ontology engineering, mobility simulation, and sustainability research. She contributes to the Horizon Europe AntifragiCity project, supporting work in multi-agent systems development, urban mobility analysis, systematic literature review using grounded theory methodology, and data-driven modelling for urban resilience.
Her work has included developing Python automation tools and data integration pipelines for the ACCORD project, building a GUI application for image detection as part of the Digitising Construction Regulations project, and supporting multi-agent simulations with Arena for the SemanticLCA project and research into ventilation's impact on SARS-CoV-2 transmission. She has also worked with Optimise AI on data scraping and integration pipelines to support AI model training for industrial optimisation.
Before joining Cardiff University, Afrouz worked in project finance, petroleum economics, and database development, including as Head of Projects' Finance Department at Tehran Energy Consultants Company, an Iranian oil consultancy, where she carried out risk-based economic evaluations and helped develop financial modelling tools for the oil and gas sector. She has also taught at the University of Science and Culture, Tehran, delivering courses in Arena Simulation Software and Soft Computing.
Afrouz holds an MSc in Advanced Manufacturing Systems (Merit) from Brunel University, with dissertation research on green supply chains using analytical hierarchy processes, and a BSc in Industrial Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Technology, Tehran.
