Overview
I am a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Exeter. I received my MSc in 2012 and my PhD in 2016, both from the University of Manchester. My research focuses on multidisciplinary engineering projects that involve medical, social, and computer sciences, and I use systematic review, data analysis, and novel innovations to provide engineering solutions. My areas of expertise include:
- Data centric Engineering with Machine Learning applications
- Climate Engineering through the development of smart cities and sustainable designs and structures
- Engineering interventions in Energy-Food-Water-Environment-Equity and Public health modelling
- Biosystems and biomedical Engineering using CFD and FEA
- Mechanised eco-friendly agricultural engineering
- Energy economics through hybrid, localised energy modelling using wind, solar, hydrokinetic and biofuel energies to achieve circular economy
If you're interested in pursuing a PhD, MPhil, or MRes with me on any of these topics, please send your areas of interest to m.akrami@exeter.ac.uk.
