Kiarash Sanaei

Industrial AI & Optimization Engineer · R&D Leader · PhD Researcher

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.

My approach is to connect rigorous modeling and research with practical systems that support measurable, real-world decisions.
