About
Dr. Esmaeil Ghorbani currently works as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University, focused on developing digital twins for complex systems. Before that he was working as postdoctoral fellow at Polytechnique Montréal, focusing on developing a data-driven digital twin for a hydro turbine, collaborating with Ph.D. and M.Sc. students. Previously, as a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), he spent three years at KGS Group, a consulting firm in the hydro industry, contributing to projects across Canada for BCHydro, MBHydro, SaskPower, and OPG, with a focus on mech-structural engineering. Esmaeil earned his PhD in structural engineering from the University of Manitoba in 2021, where he specialized in data-driven methods for damage quantification of civil infrastructures. During his PhD, he was honored with the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (UMGF) for three consecutive years, one of the university’s most prestigious awards. Before his PhD, he worked at TurboTech Company for four years, gaining experience in vibration analysis of rotating machinery. He holds both a master’s and bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Research Interests
Dynamics & Vibration analysis of multi-scale mechanical and structural systems
Develop scalable, physics-enhanced dynamic models to understand, identify, and predict the behavior of complex mechanical and structural systems in real time.
AI & Data Science for mechanical and civil engineering systems
Physics-augmented machine learning, data-driven reduced-order modelling and modular network-based modeling to build interpretable models for complex engineering systems.
Teaching
With B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering and Ph.D. in civil engineering, combined with Dr. Ghorbani teaching experience and professional background, he can teach a wide range of engineering design-related, numerical modeling and computational analysis related courses.
