• PhD in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering (ENSAM, 2014)
• Current affiliation: KEDGE Business School
• Prior affiliation: InterOP-VLab

His research spans four key domains: supply chain optimization (vaccine distribution, waste recycling), smart manufacturing (collaborative robots, assembly line balancing), enterprise modeling (interoperability, conceptual frameworks), and sustainability analytics (circular economy, environmental/social integration). Recent work applies reinforcement learning to scheduling and semantic frameworks for IoT interoperability.

Article trends show a strong focus on pandemic response logistics (2021-2025), followed by collaborative robotics (2024), smart grid energy management (2022-2023), and circular economy applications (2023-2025). Co-authors include M. Mohammadi, M. Karimi Mamaghan, and O. Battaia, indicating collaborations across French, Iranian, and Portuguese institutions.

As a former InterOP-VLab researcher and ENSAM ATER, Dr. Pirayesh has extensive experience in model-driven enterprise management, with applications in healthcare logistics, sustainable manufacturing, and digital dentistry. He teaches courses on supply chain modeling, simulation, and information systems optimization.
