Welcome to my web page!

I am Meisam Farrokhifar, holding a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering awarded by the Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy. I hold a Senior Member grade from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). I am especially interested in developing technology enablers that drive innovation for solving the power system’s grand challenges, providing new mathematical models and tools for enhanced efficiency of the system.

I am a Senior Researcher in the Department of the Built Environment at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands.  Before this position, I worked as a Research Scientist at the Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), Moscow, Russia. 

At Skoltech, I have participated as a principal investigator for several projects related to the planning and operation of power/energy systems. Moreover, I collaborated on the “Energy Systems Planning for Government Regulations” project funded by the Next Generation Program: Skoltech-MIT Joint Projects. Formerly, I was a Researcher at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands.

Prior to the above-mentioned careers, I served as an Assistant Professor at Azad University in Iran. In this role, I had the privilege of imparting knowledge through graduate lectures, workshops, and seminars, focusing on modeling and optimization challenges within distribution grids. Additionally, I provided guidance and mentorship to more than 25 master's thesis projects, fostering the academic growth of aspiring engineers and researchers.

Furthermore, I actively contribute to the academic community as a dedicated referee for several prestigious international peer-reviewed journals. My commitment to upholding rigorous research standards and ensuring the quality of scholarly work has led me to assess and provide valuable feedback on numerous manuscripts.

In recognition of my expertise and contributions to the field, I have also been honored to serve as a scientific committee member for various international conferences. These roles have afforded me the opportunity to help shape the discourse and direction of important discussions within the domain of electrical engineering and power systems.
