Reza Tikani is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Isfahan, Iran.
Academic Background
He received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology in 2004, 2006, and 2011, respectively. His doctoral research focused on the design and development of semi-active and active hydraulic engine mounts. He also completed a six-month sabbatical research program at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Research Profile
His research spans linear and nonlinear vibration, dynamic-system modeling and control, piezoelectric energy harvesting, rotordynamics, vibration isolation, bistable structures, and metamaterial-based vibration-control concepts.
His current research directions also include data-informed methods for mechanical systems, with particular interest in remaining useful life (RUL) prediction for rolling-element bearings and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for vibration modeling, inverse problems, and system identification.
