Rate My Professor Maryam Farsi

Dr Maryam Farsi is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering Optimization at Cranfield University’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences. She obtained her PhD in Nonlinear Structural Mechanics from Imperial College London in December 2014 and her MSc in Civil Engineering Structures from City, University of London in March 2010. Dr Farsi leads the Complex Systems and Optimization research group at the Centre for Digital Engineering and Manufacturing. Her primary research vision spans Systems Engineering, Net-Zero Engineering, and Cost Engineering, with expertise applied in design, aerospace, manufacturing, transport, and healthcare. She focuses on the development of innovative autonomous systems and system-of-systems optimization, the decarbonization of engineering assets and manufacturing processes through optimized Net-Zero strategies, and the application of artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies in whole-life cost analysis. Her research is mainly quantitative, emphasizing multi-objective optimization to trade-off between economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
