Research profile
My research focuses on Circular Manufacturing Decision Intelligence: developing decision support that makes circular manufacturing operationally feasible, scalable, and economically viable. I build on expertise in the design, planning, and control of manufacturing systems, and develop data-driven optimization approaches (including learning-augmented metaheuristics) to support complex decisions under uncertainty and quality constraints. My work targets manufacturing-specific circularity challenges such as heterogeneous quality of returned parts, variable recovery routes, and tight requirements on performance, traceability, and "like-new" outcomes, as well as the need for in-situ monitoring and control to detect deviations early and adapt decisions during production. The aim is to translate these methods into implementable decision-support tools for industry.
I lead WP1 of the national ADD-ReAM project -- a consortium of 15 PhD projects across 7 universities with 20+ industrial partners -- focused on Advancing Dutch Circular Economy through Additive Manufacturing: Strategies for Repair and Remanufacturing using AM, as a pathway to scalable circular manufacturing.
Academic background
I am an Assistant Professor in Circular Manufacturing at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). I obtained my BSc (2009, cum laude, University of Tabriz, Iran) and MSc (2011, cum laude, University of Tehran, Iran) in Industrial Engineering, followed by two PhD degrees completed in 2015: a PhD in Industrial Engineering (University of Tehran, Iran) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers, France). From 2015 to 2017, I conducted postdoctoral research at École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (France) on the performance evaluation of semiconductor manufacturing. Before joining TU/e, I was an Associate Professor (2017–2023) at IMT Atlantique (France) in Operations Research and Machine Learning.
Quote
"Circular manufacturing succeeds only when circularity becomes operational! Through decision intelligence that makes recovery, quality, and performance work at scale."
