Dr. Hasti’s interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering, computer science, and economics is focused on the development of transformational digital tools and technologies using physics-based and data-driven approaches. These tools are intended to enable low-emission, connected, resilient, reliable, safe, affordable, and smart systems for a sustainable future. Dr. Hasti received MS and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Purdue University, USA in 2016 and 2019 respectively, and a mini-MBA from Purdue in 2018.  Prior to joining NCSU, he was a Research Assistant Professor at Purdue University. Hasti is serving as Vice Chair of the Gas Turbine Engines Technical Committee of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He is an associate editor of the journal Frontiers in Aerospace Engineering and an associate fellow of the AIAA. Dr. Hasti served as Principal Investigator / Co-Principal Investigator for projects with sponsorship from DOE, NASA, NSF, and several industries.

Dr. Hasti teaches Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Applications to both undergraduate and graduate students at NC State. He follows an integrated approach from fundamentals to practical applications with an interdisciplinary mindset and engagement on real-world challenges and provides active and experiential learning to students.

Outside of work, Dr. Hasti enjoys spending time with his family and friends, visiting natural attractions, trekking, swimming, playing badminton, chess, and listening to music.
