Background
Dr Maryam Farsi is a Lecturer in Through-life Engineering Optimisation at Cranfield University, School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing. Dr Farsi gained 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’s main research focus is on complex systems and system of systems simulation, optimisation, data analytics and data visualisation, with application across aerospace, manufacturing, transport, and healthcare sectors. Dr Farsi’s research focus is on dynamic systems and structures modelling, enterprise and supply chain modelling, complex systems simulation, sustainable manufacturing, digital twin; servitization; lifecycle cost modelling; optimisation, and risk and uncertainty quantification with over 25 research works.
Dr Farsi is a member of the Centre for Digital Engineering and Manufacturing. She has supervised more than 40 MSc. 2 KTP and 2 PhD. Dr Farsi is a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET), Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and associate editor of International Journal of Strategic Engineering (IJoSE). Dr Farsi has been involved in research bid development with a total projects’ cost of over £2m, where she was successfully attracted more than £100K income generation as an investigator (PI or Co-I).
