معرفی
Amineh Ghorbani serves as Associate Professor of Institutional Modelling and Analysis within the Systems Engineering group at Delft University of Technology's Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management. She maintains active affiliations with the Institutional Grammar Research Initiative, Institutions for Collective Action, and the Ostrom Workshop, demonstrating deep integration within institutional analysis networks.
Her research centers on institutional transformation during climate change, specifically examining how collective action frameworks like community energy systems and urban commons enhance climate resilience. Methodologically pioneering, she developed the MAIA framework (Modelling Agent-systems using Institutional Analysis) and Institutional Network Analysis techniques to map interconnections between institutional structures. This work bridges computational modeling with qualitative social science approaches to address complex environmental challenges.
Recent publications reveal consistent focus on energy transition governance (particularly hydrogen systems in the Netherlands), climate adaptation barriers in developing contexts (waste management in India), and value-driven modeling during crises (COVID-19 response). Her work consistently applies agent-based modeling and network analysis to dissect policy implementation challenges across diverse socio-technical systems.
Scientific Awards: No specific awards were documented in the provided source material.
Dr. Ghorbani has supervised 5 academic works according to her profile metrics, though specific advisee details remain undisclosed. Her research appears institutionally supported through Delft University affiliations and collaborative initiatives rather than individually attributed grants in the available documentation.
She actively contributes to three major research collectives: the Institutional Grammar Research Initiative advancing analytical frameworks for institutional analysis; Institutions for Collective Action focusing on governance solutions for shared resources; and the Ostrom Workshop continuing Elinor Ostrom's legacy in studying self-governance systems for common-pool resources.
