Biography

Reza graduated with all degrees from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, a reputable university in the country. Based on his academic and ten-year industrial experience in the renewable energy sector, he published more than 20 papers (18 as the first author) in IEEE, Elsevier, and IET journals (Google Scholar). He has also proposed a centralized anti-islanding protection and control scheme in Horizon 2021’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions call based on battery energy storage. Although the proposal was not funded, it was selected among the top 20% of excellent works, i.e., receiving the “Seals of Excellence” certificate.

After 6-month visiting researcher experience in 2019, Reza rejoined IEPG at TU Delft as a postdoctoral researcher in the InterOPERA project. The project aims to find the probable interaction challenges of multi-vendor multi-terminal HVDC systems. InterOPERA is funded by HORIZON Europe and benefits from the support of 22 academic and industrial partners in Europe.

In addition, He is a member of Cigre and actively participated in WG
B5.83. He is also an Associate Editor of e-Prime—Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy journal (Elsevier). He continuously review papers for prestegious journals such as IEEE TSG, PWRS, PWRD, TPEL, Elsevier's JCLEPRO, RENE, EPSR, IJEPES, and IET GTD and RPG.
