Zeynab Allahkarami

Zeynab Allahkarami is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Industrial and Materials Science within the Mechanics and Maritime Sciences school at Chalmers University of Technology. Her work focuses on maintenance and reliability engineering with an emphasis on optimizing industrial system performance and bridging theoretical research with practical industrial applications.

Dr. Allahkarami's research interests span across several key areas in industrial engineering:

• Maintenance Engineering and Optimization
• Reliability Engineering for Industrial Systems
• Data-Driven Solutions for Production Systems
• Circular Economy Principles in Manufacturing
• Sustainable Production Systems
• Risk Analysis for Mining Equipment
• Statistical Modeling of Operational Failures

Her publication record demonstrates a strong focus on applying advanced statistical models to real-world industrial problems, particularly in the mining sector. Recent work has explored mixed-effects models for reliability assessment in heterogeneous environments and the environmental impacts of production disturbances from an Overall Equipment Effectiveness perspective. Her research shows a progression from component-level reliability analysis to system-wide environmental impact considerations.

Dr. Allahkarami has received research funding from VINNOVA for the DFusion project (2021-2024) focused on Data Fusion of disturbance data, collaborating with researchers from Production Systems at Chalmers including Anders Skoogh, Adriana Ito, Torbjörn Ylipää, and Jon Bokrantz.

Her work bridges theoretical research with practical industrial applications, aiming to improve operational excellence while supporting the transition to more sustainable production systems. She incorporates circular economy principles into her research to contribute to safer and more efficient industrial operations, with particular application in mining equipment and manufacturing systems.
