Personal Statement
Mohammad is a Senior Research Fellow in Modelling and Simulation at CMAC, University of Strathclyde. His research focuses on the digital transformation of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes using computational modelling, machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, mathematical optimisation, and software development technologies.
Mohammad joined CMAC in 2022 as a research associate for the EPSRC project Digital Medicines Manufacturing (DM2), focusing on modelling and optimisation for tablet direct compression. He obtained his BSc (2015) from Sharif University of Technology, Iran, MSc (2018) from Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, and PhD (2022) from Heriot-Watt University, UK, where he contributed to several joint industry projects on the application of model-based and AI-assisted optimisation in oil and gas industry.
