Kiarash Sanaei
I am an Industrial AI & Optimization Engineer, R&D Leader, and PhD researcher in Industrial Engineering at the University of Tehran, specializing in Optimization and AI.
My work focuses on designing intelligent systems for complex industrial and operational problems by combining machine learning, operations research, optimization, simulation, and agentic AI.
Production & operations
Production planning, process optimization and decision support in energy-intensive manufacturing.
Digital transformation & data
Enterprise data, industrial IoT, and finding the gaps between what systems record and what plants do.
AI products
Enterprise AI copilots, multi-agent systems and products of their own.
My approach is to connect rigorous modeling and research with practical systems that support measurable, real-world decisions.
