Summary
I’m a Research Associate in the Applied Modelling and Computation Group at Imperial College London, UK.
My research involves simulating real materials on a computer to unveil the physical phenomena that can help solving industrial problems, optimise processes and lead to new discoveries in material science. Find more on adofarsi.com.
Since October 2019 I have also been the Postdoc Representative of my department at Imperial.
Consulting
I am open for industrial consultancy projects, both privately and through Imperial College Consultants.
I'm an expert in stress analysis, numerical modelling and mechanical testing for materials, energy and natural resources, manufacturing and civil engineering. Click here to download my consulting details.
