BIO
Dr Ado Farsi is a research fellow co-investigator at University College London and a visiting researcher at Imperial College London. He is also the co-founder of Tanuki Technologies.
His expertise lies in computational mechanics, particularly finite element (FEM) and discrete element (DEM) modelling, as well as machine learning (ML). He has served as an invited speaker and session organiser at international conferences including WCCM, ECCOMAS, USNCCM and ARMA.
Dr Farsi has extensive experience in solid and fluid mechanics, with a focus on Earth materials (e.g., rock and ice) and engineered materials (e.g., concrete and ceramics). His research spans applications from rock mechanics and fibre-reinforced concrete tunnels to the optimisation of catalyst supports for hydrogen production and the simulation of Arctic sea ice.
