Vahid Shobeiri

Dr. Vahid Shobeiri is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials (CISM) at RMIT University, where he works on the ARC Laureate Fellowship project under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Mike Xie. He received his PhD degree from The University of Adelaide in 2023, with the thesis entitled "Optimization of Structures Considering Environmental Sustainability" and worked in the industry before and after his PhD study.  He has significant research experience in the environmental sustainability, sustainable manufacturing designs, and computational mechanics, in particular topology optimisation techniques.

Dr. Vahid Shobeiri has developed several meta-heuristic and evolutionary optimisation algorithms for the optimal design of nonlinear structures under dynamic/impact loads.  He has done extensive research on the design of innovative structures using topology optimisation and advanced finite element and meshless techniques.  Dr. Vahid Shobeiri has been a reviewer for a number of prestigious journals and received several industrial awards.

Dr. Vahid Shobeiri’s fields of expertise also include nonreciprocal metamaterials, compliant mechanisms, composite materials, structural dynamics, environmentally friendly concrete, artificial intelligence and life-cycle assessment.
