Biography
Mohammad received his PhD in mechanical engineering from Concordia University, Canada in 2018. His previous research was focused on optimal control and modelling of district energy systems, integration of renewable energies, hybrid energy systems, thermodynamics cycles, and thermo-economic analysis. Those research areas were connected to IEA-ECES Annex 31 and published as a part of it. Mohammad joined University College Dublin (UCD Energy Institute) in 2019 under Energy Systems Integration Partnership Programme (ESIPP) as a postdoctoral researcher working on diversification of gas end-use and supply. In that project, Mohammad proposed a model to explore future scenarios to complement wind and other renewable electricity sources in Ireland while at the same time covering seasonal peak domestic and industrial heating demands. Mohammad is an associate editor in Intelligent Buildings International (Taylor & Francis) as well as Sustainability (MDPI). He is also the task leader on several sections on International Energy Agency Annex 37: Smart Design and Control of Energy Storage Systems.
Mohammad has joined liftWEC project in the Centre for Ocean Energy Research (COER) at Maynooth University as a postdoctoral researcher to work on estimation for non-linear wave energy converters.
