معرفی
Dr Mahdi Salimi is a Lecturer in Electrical Engineering at the University of Greenwich (School of Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Science), appointed in 2022. He holds a PhD from IAU University (Science and Research Branch, Tehran, Iran, 2012) and has extensive academic and research experience. Prior to his current role, he worked as a lecturer/assistant professor at IAU University (Ardabil Branch, Iran, 2011–2019), teaching BSc/MSc/PhD courses in power electronics, controller design, and analogue electronics while supervising postgraduate students. From 2019–2022, he was a researcher at the University of Nottingham’s PEMC Group, focusing on more/full electric aircraft projects funded by the Clean Sky 2 consortium.
His research interests span power electronics systems for renewable energy, electric aircraft/vehicles, grid-connected systems, and active power filters. He has authored 31 journal papers (IET, Elsevier, Wiley, etc.) and 24 conference papers, with peer-reviewed contributions in IEEE Transactions and IET journals. His work emphasizes practical implementation of control strategies like sliding-mode, backstepping, and Lyapunov-based methods for converters and inverters.
Publications highlight innovations in high-voltage DC-DC converters, MPPT algorithms for renewable generators, and robust control of multilevel inverters. His work often addresses industrial challenges such as voltage stress reduction, grid integration, and energy efficiency optimization. He is an invited reviewer for leading journals and contributes to both academic and applied research projects.
His career trajectory reflects a strong focus on bridging theoretical control methodologies with real-world applications in sustainable energy systems and aerospace electrification.
