I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Department of Biomedical & Translational Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I got my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from USC under the advice of Prof. Roger Ghanem. I also got a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from USC, a M.S. in Structural Engineering from Sharif University of Technology and a B.S in Civil Engineering from K.N. Toosi University of Technology.
Our research aims to transform how engineering systems are modeled, designed, and operated by advancing a new paradigm of AI-driven scientific computing. Our group specializes in developing advanced computational methods that combine the power of machine learning with the rigor of physics-based modeling. Applications of our work include accelerated engineering design, digital twins for transportation networks, and biomedical engineering.
Prospective Students: I am looking for motivated students to work on cutting-edge research in scientific machine learning and uncertainty quantification. If you are interested in working with me, please apply through the CEE department and mention my name in your application. You can also email me directly with your CV and research interests.
We believe that the future of engineering lies in the seamless integration of data-driven methods with physics-based understanding. Our group seeks to develop methods that are not only computationally efficient but also physically meaningful and interpretable.
I am the Founding Director of the AI+CEE M.S. Track and the Chair of the AI+CEE Task Force. Contact me to learn more about our AI+CEE offerings.
