Welcome to Hossain’s Research 

Dr. Md Alamgir Hossain (SMIEEE) has made significant contributions to the field of renewable energy and power systems through extensive collaborations with over 175 researchers and more than 10 industry professionals. One notable achievement is the establishment of Australia's pioneering hydrogen DC microgrid laboratory at Griffith University, funded by the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre. This microgrid laboratory serves as a focal point for industry engagement, facilitating various tests such as transient effects, stability analysis, power sharing and economic operations. It operates through an Internet of Things (IoT) based platform with local storage systems and a communication network. The lab's development was a collaborative effort involving the University of Tasmania, Optimal Group, and Pitt & Sherry.

Before joining Griffith University, Dr Hossain worked as a Postdoc Research Associate at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, where he developed machine learning models for intermittent renewable energy sources. He also served as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) department at Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Bangladesh, where he shared his knowledge and expertise with students and faculty members.

Dr Hossain completed both a PhD and a Master of Engineering degrees with competitive scholarships from UNSW, Australia in 2019 and 2016, respectively. During his postgraduate studies, he specialized in modelling, designing, optimizing and controlling renewable energy sources for off-grid and grid-connected power systems. He also received the B.Sc. Engg. in EEE with First Class (1st) Honors from the Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET), Bangladesh, in 2012. His impressive academic performance earned him several prestigious scholarships, including the University International Postgraduate Award (UIPA), University College Postgraduate Research Scholarship Top-Up, UNSW Tuition Fee Scholarship plus Faculty Top-up, Postgraduate Research Support Scheme (PRSS), University College Postgraduate Research Scholarship (UCPRS), and UNSW Canberra - Study Canberra Scholarship (awarded only to the top 5% of students).

Dr Hossain's hard work and dedication to his field have resulted in numerous awards and recognitions, such as the High Impact Publication Awards, the World's Top 2% Scientists, Overall and Second winners at UNSW Research Day Competitions in 2015 and 2018, respectively, Top Peer Reviewer 2019, Outstanding Reviewer from Elsevier, and Prime Minister and President Gold Medals. He has published more than 50 high-impact journal papers and 30 international conferences in his specialist field through extensive international collaborations and received over $1.6 million in research funding support from national and international funding agencies. My groundbreaking research on greenhouse gas emissions has had a profound impact on shaping policy in the field of environmental sustainability. This impact is notably reflected in the policy document 'Agency in the Anthropocene' published by the OECD, within their Education Working Papers series (No. 297). This recognition not only validates the rigour and quality of my research but also highlights its direct applicability in guiding international policy decisions aimed at mitigating the impact of climate change. 

The research work has been cited over 2500 with an H-index of 24 (Google Scholar) and an FWCI of 2.47 (SciVal). Eight of the publications have received over 100 citations, and among them, three papers have exceeded 200 citations (Google Scholar). According to SciVal, in the last five years, 45.1% of my articles have been published in the top 10% of journals, 36.2% of my research has received recognition as being in the top 10% most cited worldwide, and 76.8% of my articles are a result of international collaboration. As a first author, 70% of my articles and review papers have been recognised in the top 5% of citation percentiles. These statistics indicate the quality of my research work with significant impact and global reach of my research contributions. 

He has successfully co-supervised five research students to completion and currently supervises six others. In 2023, he was promoted to the rank of Senior Member in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in recognition of his significant contributions to the field of electrical and electronic engineering. Dr Hossain's contributions have significantly impacted the field of renewable energy and power systems, and he is a leading authority in the industry.
