Dr. Yasser Abdel-Rady I. Mohamed received the B.Sc. (with honors) and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from Ain Shams University, Cairo, in 2000 and 2004, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada, in 2008. From 2002 to 2006, he was a Research Engineer in the Aerospace Industry; from May 2006 to October 2008, he was a research and teaching assistant in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo; and from January 2009 to August 2009, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo. He was an Assistant Professor from 2009 to 2013, an Associate Professor from 2013 to 2017, and a Full Professor since 2017, all with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. His highly cited research focuses on 1) modeling, analysis, stability, control, and optimization of power electronic converters and systems, active distribution systems, and microgrids; 2) grid integration of distributed and renewable energy resources and energy storage; 3) development of artificial intelligence technologies for smart grids; and 4) electric machine drives. Dr. Mohamed has participated in many industrial research and development projects and activities for Hydro One Networks, Natural Resources Canada, ABB, Valeo, Virelec Automation, and Qualsys Engco, and consulted for the electrical industry.
Dr. Mohamed is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an Elected Fellow of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA), and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics. From 2016 to 2023, he was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, and IEEE Power Engineering Letters. Additionally, he served as Guest Editor and Coordinator of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics Special Issue on Distributed Generation and Microgrids, as well as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics from 2007 to 2019. He also serves as a reviewer for the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), MITACS Canada, the European Science Foundation, and other international funding agencies. He trained over 50 graduate students and post-graduate researchers, many of whom now hold important positions in Canada, the United States, and other countries. Dr. Mohamed is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Alberta.
