Dr Ado Farsi — computational mechanics scientist at Imperial College London and UCL

I'm a computational mechanics scientist at Imperial College London and University College London (UCL). Alongside my academic work, I'm also the co‑founder of Tanuki Technologies.

I lead the Farsi Computational Mechanics Lab, where our research spans from fundamental advances in physics‑informed operator learning and differentiable scientific computing to a wide range of engineering 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.

My expertise lies in computational mechanics, particularly finite element and discrete element modelling, as well as machine learning. I have given invited talks and organised sessions at international computational mechanics conferences (including the World, European and US National congresses on computational mechanics) and at the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA).
