معرفی
Dr. Jelena Ninic is an Associate Professor in Digital Engineering at the University of Birmingham's School of Engineering since 2022. Her research focuses on computational methods, AI, and BIM for structural and geotechnical engineering. She holds a PhD in Computational Mechanics (2015, Ruhr University Bochum) and a Marie Curie Fellowship (2016, University of Nottingham). She is an Associate Editor of Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, UK representative for ISSMGE TC222, and a member of UKACM's Executive Committee. Her work integrates finite element simulations, machine learning, and digital twins for infrastructure lifecycle management.
Research interests include process-oriented simulations, digital twins, and risk assessment in tunnelling, construction, and transportation. She has pioneered multi-level BIM parametrization and BIM-to-IGA workflows. Awards include FHEA (2020) and Marie Curie SATBIM Fellowship (2016). Recent articles explore Bayesian optimization for tunnels, meshless methods for buried structures, and sustainability-driven infrastructure resilience.
