Dr. Behnam Mohammadi-Ivatloo, PhD, is a Professor of sector coupling in energy systems at LUT University, Lappeenranta, Finland. He has a mix of high-level experience in research, teaching, administration and voluntary jobs at the national and international levels. He was PI or CO-PI in more than 20 externally funded research projects including grants from EU Horiozn and Business Finland. He is a Senior Member of IEEE since 2017 and a Member of the Governing Board of Iran Energy Association since 2013, where he was elected as President in 2019. He is Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and IEEE Transactions of Transportation Electrifications. His main areas of interest are integrated energy systems, sector coupling, renewable energies, energy storage systems, microgrids, and smart grids.
Amin Mohammadpour Shotorbani is a postdoctoral research fellow in energy systems at the University of British Columbia. He is interested in Smart Grid technologies and nonlinear control methods to microgrids, FACTS, VSC-HVDC, HV-MTDC Grid, Renewable Integration, WADC and WAMS. His experience includes designing robust adaptive nonlinear control using CLF, CVLF, SMC, TSMC, FOC, and developing adaptive observer techniques for power system applications. He has also been involved in the implementation of distributed optimization techniques and designing decentralized control for power system applications.
Amjad Anvari-Moghaddam PhD, SMIEEE, received the Ph.D. degree (Hons.) in Power Systems Engineering from the University of Tehran, in 2015. He is currently an Associate Professor and the vice leader of PESYS and iGRIDS research groups at the Department of Energy (AAU Energy), Aalborg University, where he is also the coordinator for the Integrated Energy Systems Laboratory (IES-Lab). He has published more than 200 technical articles, 4 books, and 8 book chapters. His research interests include planning, control, and operation management of microgrids, renewable/hybrid power systems, and integrated energy systems with appropriate market mechanisms. He was a recipient of the 2020 DUO-India Fellowship Award, the DANIDA Research Fellowship grant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, in 2018, the IEEE-CS Outstanding Leadership Award 2018 (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada), and the 2017 IEEE-CS Outstanding Service Award (Exeter-UK).
