Nasibeh Zohrabi, PhD
Dr. Nasibeh Zohrabi is an assistant professor of engineering at Penn State Brandywine. Prior to joining Penn State, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher in VCU Center for Analytics and Smart Technologies (VCAST) at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Dr. Zohrabi specializes in the field of control and dynamical systems, with specific interests in cyber-physical systems (CPS), model-based control, distributed control, and stochastic hybrid systems. Her current focus is mainly on the challenges of cyber physical systems for smart cities and connected communities. She is investigating the integration of learning-based and model-based control, aiming to take advantage of both domains, for addressing challenges of complex cyber-physical systems. She is interested in a wide range of applications such as smart buildings, intelligent transportation systems/smart mobility, microgrids/shipboard power systems, and renewable energy systems. Dr. Zohrabi is also working on interdisciplinary research projects for addressing different problems in the community (e.g., food desert problem, opioid overdose crisis) through harnessing the power of data analytics, smart technologies, and community engagement.
