Rami Mansour
Associate Professor, Docent (habilitation)

Rami Mansour is an Associate Professor at the department of Mechanical and Production Engineering at Aarhus University in Denmark and Docent (Habilitation) at the Department of Engineering Mechanics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. He is leading the Reliability, Modelling and Optimization (RMO) research group.

He received the doctoral degree in Solid Mechanics in 2016 from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and accomplished his Habilitation at KTH in 2024. He currently has 30 research publications, including journal articles, conference contributions and book chapters.

Current research aims to predict product life and material performance (i.e. fatigue life, damage modelling,..), develop simulation-based models of manufacturing process (i.e. AM, welding, abrasive manufacturing), data-driven models for manufacturing planning (i.e. using Discrete Event Simulation), as well as novel holistic multi-objective optimization frameworks under uncertain conditions.
