Elnaz Naghibi

Dr. Elnaz Naghibi is a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of East London, affiliated with the Research Institute of Architecture, Computing & Engineering. Her work bridges fluid dynamics, computational mechanics, and interdisciplinary engineering applications.

Research Interests:
Her primary research spans turbulent flows, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and geophysical fluid dynamics, with applied focus on reduced-order modeling, machine learning for jet flow analysis, and continuum robotics. Key themes include:

• Advanced numerical methods for ocean/climate systems (e.g., Southern Ocean jet dynamics)
• Data-driven approaches in aeroacoustics and high-Reynolds flows
• Nonlinear dynamics in materials and mechanical systems

Publication Trends:
Recent works emphasize machine learning integration in fluid dynamics (2022–2024), building on earlier foundations in spectral methods (2018–2019) and continuum robotics (2017–2020). Dominant fields include computational fluid dynamics (7/11 papers), geophysics (4/11), and robotics (3/11), reflecting strong cross-disciplinary collaboration.
