Mrs. Zohreh Rafiei Samani is a dedicated second-year phd student at Birmingham City University, UK, working on intelligent control and data-driven modelling of piezoelectric actuators. she earned her Msc from Persian Gulf University, Iran, and her Bsc from Shahrekord University, Iran, bringing over six years of industry experience into her research. According to her google scholar profile, she has 4 publications and 45 citations, with an h-index of 3. Her work has made an impact through her article “capacitance estimation for piezoelectric actuators: an artificial intelligence approach”, which introduces a novel ai model to estimate the variable capacitance of piezo actuators under changing operating conditions. This research contributes significantly to improving the precision, efficiency, and autonomy of nano positioning systems and smart structures. Her core research areas include piezoelectric actuators, Smart Manufacturing Systems, intelligent control systems, data-driven modelling, and the application of artificial intelligence in mechatronics. Through her innovative methodology, Zohreh is helping push the boundaries of mechatronic systems design, particularly in robotics, micro-positioning, and smart structures.
