Samira Keivanpour

Dr. Samira Keivanpour is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical and Industrial Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. She holds a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Laval University, an MBA in Operation Management from Iran, and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Iran. Prior to joining Polytechnique Montréal, she was a faculty member at Thompson Rivers University and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Laval University's Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015-2017).

Her research focuses on Circular Economy & End-of-Life Product Management, Sustainable & Circular Supply Chains, Human-Robot Collaboration & Smart Automation in Logistics, and AI for Sustainable Operations. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications in sustainable manufacturing and logistics.

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating artificial intelligence, particularly fuzzy logic and reinforcement learning approaches, with sustainable operations management. Her work spans multiple domains including circular supply chains, human-robot collaboration, and sustainable manufacturing systems, with particular emphasis on aerospace applications and end-of-life product management.

Dr. Keivanpour actively supervises graduate students, with eight completed theses (one Ph.D. and seven Master's) between 2021-2024, focusing on sustainable manufacturing, circular economy, and smart logistics applications.

She holds significant research affiliations as a Co-investigator with the Safran Industrial Chair on Multifunctional Passive Acoustic Treatments for Turbofan Composite Structures (TAPPIS) and the Institutional Research Chair on Additive Manufacturing technologies (FACMO 2), and is a member of both the Research Group in Decision Analysis (GERAD) and the Interuniversity Research Centre on Enterprise Networks, Logistics and Transportation (CIRRELT).
