Elnaz Naghibi

OVERVIEW

Prior to joining UEL, Elnaz was a Teaching Fellow in Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College London, 2019-2023. During 2014-2019, she was a Research Associate and a Teaching Associate in the School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary, University of London. Elnaz earned her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran, in 2017.

Research

Her research interests lie at applied mathematics by developing analytical and semi-analytical solutions to idealized models of engineering and natural systems. Since 2012, her main focus has been on studying interactions of mesoscale oceanic currents and the Earth's polar motion. She is also interested in data-driven modelling of oceanic turbulence.
