- Education
Expertise & Capabilities
I have secured and led several international collaborative research projects, notably three Egypt–China STDF-funded grants with a total value exceeding USD 183,000 focusing on renewable-energy planning, optimisation, and stability control. These projects advanced the research frontier while building institutional capacity through laboratory development, cross-institutional training, and active engagement of MSc and PhD students in funded research.
My editorial and guest-editing roles — including Guest Associate Editor of IET Renewable Power Generation (Q2 WOS, IF: 2.9), Associate editor for Alexandria Engineering Journal (Q1 WOS, IF: 6.8)— demonstrate sustained international recognition and leadership in the field. Besides, served Guest Editor for three editorials for IET Renewable Power Generation and Frontiers in Energy Research. Through these roles, I mentor early-career researchers, uphold scholarly integrity, and contribute to shaping the research agenda within renewable energy and power systems.
In parallel, I actively supervise MSc and PhD students, guiding them toward impactful publications and professional recognition. I also serve as an external examiner for MSc and PhD dissertations at international universities such as the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (South Africa). These activities demonstrate my commitment to cultivating research excellence and academic standards globally.

Academic / Professional qualifications
I have established a sustained and internationally recognised record of scholarly activity that directly informs and enriches my teaching practice. My research focuses on renewable energy systems, hybrid AC/DC microgrids, and AI applications in power electronics, areas that align with global sustainability and decarbonisation priorities.
I have authored and co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed international publications, including 22 IEEE Transactions, reflecting consistent contributions to high-impact research and innovation.
I am a co-author of the IET book AI Applications for Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems (2024) and the lead author of the ELSEVIER forthcoming book Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids: Optimisation, Energy Management, and Protection (2025). These books translate advanced research into accessible learning resources and are now being adopted by academic and professional audiences internationally, bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and teaching.
