Rate My Professor Kamyar Mehran

Mehran founded and directs the Real-time Power and Control System (RPCS) Laboratory since 2016, focusing on hardware-in-the-loop research for energy management in electric vehicles and microgrids. His research specializations encompass power electronics, microgrid control and energy management, electric and hybrid powertrains, system modelling and control, and battery management systems, with emphasis on novel control methodologies for islanded DC microgrids, energy storage, and SiC-based power electronics. He has authored key publications such as 'An Algorithmic Framework for Full-order Physics-based Simulations of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy' in Nature Communications Chemistry (accepted 2024), 'Short-term solar PV forecasting in microgrids using cloud top temperature and vision transformer-based models' in Frontiers in Energy Research (2025), 'Membership-dependent polynomial fuzzy control of a positive discrete time system' in ISA Transactions (2024), 'Stability Analysis of Discrete-Time Polynomial Fuzzy-Model-Based Control Systems with Time Delay and Positivity Constraints' in IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics: Systems (2020), and 'A Distributed Event-Triggered Control Strategy for DC Microgrids' in IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid (2019). As Principal Investigator, he has secured over £423,000 in grants from EPSRC, Innovate UK Faraday Challenge (£455,271 in 2018), GCRF, and others. Honors include Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE), Member of IET (MIET), Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), guest editor for IEEE Open Access Journal of Power and Energy (2019), and part of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering teaching team awarded QMUL Education Excellence Award in 2025.
