Personal statement

Dr Kamranzad is a Chancellor鈥檚 Fellow and Lecturer (Global Talent Programme) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the 吃瓜tv. With over 15 years of expertise in Ocean and Coastal Engineering, she specialises in the impacts of climate change on ocean dynamics, the sustainability of offshore renewable energies, and coastal resilience. She utilises advanced numerical modelling, AI, and hybrid computational approaches to address marine hazards and extreme events. Dr Kamranzad is also a .

For her efforts in the fields of Energy, Oceanography, and Enabling & Strategic Technologies, she has been recognised among the T by Stanford University and Elsevier. Her leadership in sustainability was further recognised as the by the MDPI Sustainability Foundation and the University of Basel.听

Appointed by the Scottish Government, Dr Kamranzad serves on the Advisory Panel for (Scotland鈥檚 Centre of Expertise on Climate Change). As a delegate of the prestigious , she is a dedicated proponent of bridging the gap between science and policy. She is the co-founder of the International Integrated Wave Energy Research Group 听() and maintains strategic partnerships with industry leaders including Intertek Metoc, SSE Renewables, Wood PLC, Lloyd鈥檚 Register Foundation, and Wave Energy Scotland.

She leads the research group and the 吃瓜tv Centre for Doctoral Training (SCDT) in "AI-Based Ocean Forecasts for Marine Operation" (mArIneCAST CDT). She also acts as a supervisor for EPSRC Industrial CDT in Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) and Net Zero Technologies at the National Subsea Centre (NZTC) CDT.听

As a Principal Investigator, she has secured substantial international grants (UK, Japan, China) and authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles in top-tier journals (). Her editorial contributions include serving as Deputy Editor for and on the Advisory Editorial Board for .听She has delivered invited talks at various public and reputable academic platforms, globally (see ).听

As a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), Dr Kamranzad has demonstrated significant curriculum leadership at the 吃瓜tv, most notably by developing and serving as Module Lead for Coastal Engineering (CL814), a specialist subject she reintroduced to the department after a hiatus of more than a decade. Her commitment to international engineering education includes teaching within the International Joint Education Programme (IJEP) at Yunnan University, China, for the course听Water and Environmental Systems (2023鈥�2024). She currently coordinates the听Individual Projects (CL448)听补苍诲听MEng Dissertation (CL516)听modules, while providing academic supervision for听Independent Study in Collaboration with Industry (CL973). Furthermore, she acts as a supervisor for听MSc dissertation (CL980, CL953, CL944, CL930, and EV900

Dr Kamranzad鈥檚 career is marked by highly competitive international appointments. Prior to joining the 吃瓜tv, she held a prestigious Assistant Professorship at the , Kyoto University (2018鈥�2022), a position awarded through a rigorous global selection process with an acceptance rate of less than 4%.听Her foundational research in Japan began at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, through a highly selective (2016鈥�2018), an internationally competitive fellowship with a sub-10% acceptance rate. In 2022, she further expanded her UK network as a Visiting Academic within the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Imperial College London.
