Research profile

Amjad Anvari-Moghaddam (S’10–M’14–SM’17) received the Ph.D. degree (Hons.) from University of Tehran in 2015 in Power Systems Engineering. He is currently a Full Professor and Leader of the iGRIDS Research Group at the Department of Energy (AAU Energy), Aalborg University, where he is the Coordinator of the Integrated Energy Systems Laboratory (IES-Lab). He serves as an alternate Member of Council for Energy Efficient Transition at the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, a member of Reference Group 5 “Climate, Energy and Mobility” for Horizon Europe (HE) at the Danish Agency for Education and Research (UFS), a Board Member of Energy Mission at Aalborg University, and the Chair of IEEE Denmark Section. Additionally, he holds the position of Editor-in-Chief for Academia Green Energy journal and serves as Associate Editor for several leading journals such as the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Systems Journal, and e-Prime Elsevier. He is an active member of Danish Standardization committee on Supply Systems for Electrical Energy (S-508), IEC Standardization Subcommittees 8B-WG3, WG6 & WG8 as well as the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC/SR-73, TC-8X, TC-95X & SR-120). Furthermore, he has contributed as a technical committee member to various IEEE PES/IES/PELS and CIGRE working groups, such as IEEE-CTSoc Consumer Power and Energy, IEEE-PES/SBLC WG P2418.5, CIGRE TOR C6.38, JWG C2/C5.06, and TOR C6.35. 

Acknowledged for his contributions to the field, he has been recognized since 2020 as the World's Top 1% Highly-Cited Researcher and the Top 2% Highly-Cited Scientist by ESI-Clarivate Analytics and the Stanford University, respectively. He has received prestigious awards, including the 2023 SPARC and 2020 DUO–India Fellowship Awards, IEEE-CS Outstanding Leadership Award 2018 (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada), and the 2017 IEEE-CS Outstanding Service Award (Exeter-UK).
