Personal Information

My current research interests are surrogate-based methods with applications to design optimization and digital twins. In recent years, I have published 10+ articles in high-level academic journals including Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, Applied Mathematical Modelling, Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization and so on. Currently I am also serving as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Systems, IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, Knowledge-Based Systems, Advanced Engineering Informatics and Computers & Industrial Engineering.
