Career Summary:
Ebrahim Rahmani is a Ph.D. student at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). He obtained his BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Birjand in 2016 and his MSc with honours in Aerospace Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2019. His master’s research focused on entropy waves, a significant source of thermoacoustic instabilities in combustion systems.
At IUST, he also served as a research assistant, working on thermal management across various applications, and later spent six months in industry as a mechanical engineer. He has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings.
His current Ph.D. research aims to develop a sparse sensing methodology to minimise the number of sensors while maximising the information extracted from combustion systems. The methodology begins with experimental data collection from the ULB reverse flow furnace operating under MILD combustion conditions using renewable synthetic fuels. Machine learning techniques are then applied to determine the optimal number and placement of sensors. Finally, the approach integrates numerical data through a data assimilation framework, enhancing both the accuracy and robustness of the sensor configuration.
