Dr M. Azizian Fard
Lecturer
Summary
Dr M. Azizian Fard is a lecturer in Electrical Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University since 2019. He received his PhD from Glasgow Caledonian University on a research into condition monitoring of HVDC power cables. He has experience on power system modelling, condition monitoring, and power electronic applications.
About
Dr Fard obtained his BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran, in 2006, and he received his MSc in Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering from K.N. Toosi University of Technology, Iran, in 2010. He worked as a technical engineer for companies in the field of oil and gas and electrical protection equipment manufacturing, and as a research engineer at Iran's grid research institute (Niroo Research Institute) before pursuing his PhD at Glasgow Caledonian University. After being awarded his PhD in 2018, He joined the Aberdeen HVDC research center, University of Aberdeen, as a research fellow working on HVDC circuit breakers; afterwards he joined Sheffield Hallam University as a lecturer in January 2019. He is a member of IEEE and IET.
