Overview
I am a research fellow at the Urban Intelligence Research Centre. My work focuses on data science, machine learning engineering, simulation, and optimization models.
I am an industrial engineer and computer scientist with over two decades of experience in technical, managerial and academic roles. I hold a BSc in Industrial Engineering from Tehran Polytechnic ( Amirkabir University of Technology). I also have two MSc qualifications in Industrial Engineering and Computer Science from the Isfahan University of Technology and Imperial College London. I then obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Imperial College with a thesis in Game Theory. I have held different teaching, supervision and research roles in academia.
I was working on the following project at Urban Intelligence Research Centre:
• Attenuating the Environmental Impact of our Buildings through Semantic-based Dynamic Life cycle Assessment
(SemanticLCA) the project, which aims to attenuate and control the impact of the buildings on the environment positively
and mitigate the effects of climate change using a new generation of life cycle assessment methods and tools that are
model-based, continuously learning from real-time data while informing effective operation and management strategies
of buildings and districts.
• Digitising Construction Regulations funded by Building Research Establishment Ltd.
• SPORTE.3Q; Smart integrated urban systems to manage Energy - Water nexus for users’ comfort, health and safety in
stadiums and sports facilities. SPORTE.3Q aims to address the energy and water nexus in Stadiums and Sports
Facilities within their local ecosystem (district), by developing a smart performance management solution to optimize
energy and water use and assist in decision-making.
• The Smart Cluster Energy System (piSCES) project aims to reduce the costs and carbon footprint of the fish
processing industry by developing and testing a new ’smart grid’ electricity network.
• Utilising Innovative data capture methods for the Regulatory Compliance checking project (which is funded by UCL).
This project aims to establish
My research interests include the following:
- Data Science
- Modelling, Simulation & Optimisation
- Game Theory & Multi-agent Systems
- Supply Chain Management
I am also a reviewer for the following international journals:
- Journal of Industrial Ecology
- International Journal of Web Research
- Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence
