In the case of research relevance, strong performance, and travel support, HDR will be encouraged and assisted by me to work closely with our research collaborators at their host schools for 2-3 months in the middle of PhD/Mphil research.

… I feel very privileged that I have worked with … I struggled a lot at the beginning to understand - such a skilled, motivated and brilliant person. “how does the research proceed?”. Dr. Ali helped Under his guidance, I became passionate about me to understand the whole process step by step research and I have learned a lot about power through the works … I never considered him just as system operation, electrical engineering and one of the supervisors but also a great co-worker mathematical modelling. Beside the professional aspect, Ali is a kind, patient and emphatic person who helped me in every step and showed me a way that is very enjoyable to work with. His constant wherever I faced problem … He goes through every support helped me to master all the challenges of single bit of writing until it gets to a state of 100% the PhD ... perfection … Out of meeting schedule, he … I highly recommend to any motivated student welcomed me to discuss about anything without to work with Ali as supervisor, as he/she will get an scheduled time. brilliant and inspiring mentor with a high interest Overall, I would like to say that he follows in his students. unconventional and effective way to supervise a student according to his/her needs.

My research aims at developing cost-effective solutions and algorithms to pave the way to 100% renewable generation in the future grid. In that direction, our research is focused on demand flexibility exploitation and storage systems. • On the demand flexibility, we are developing an innovative ancillary services method to facilitate demand response through smart grid technologies while preserving consumers privacy, autonomy, and welfare. We also try to extend ancillary services provision to distribution system operators in this new framework. • On the storage technologies, our focus is currently on electrochemical battery devices. We want to take a holistic approach, i.e., we intend to extend battery optimal sizing and operation to involve different technologies (solid-state and flow batteries), form (stationary and mobile), scale (utility-scale and behind-the-meter) while considering battery ageing and stacked operation. To do so, we need a multi-disciplinary approach in research to account for various stochasticity and uncertainty in the new environment through the application of Operations Research, Time Series, and Artificial Intelligence methods.
