Ali Pourmousavi Kani

Senior Lecturer of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, University of Adelaide

A PhD in Electrical Engineering and an IEEE Senior Member, I (you can call me Ali) am a Lecturer at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), the University of Adelaide (UofA). Prior to joining UofA, I worked for California ISO, NEC Laboratories America, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and the University of Queensland for more than five years. My research interests are mainly renewable energy and the smart grid. My research involves a holistic view of electrification, battery integration and demand response using optimisation, artificial intelligence, and time series methods. You can read more about my research on the Research page.

I obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc., and PhD with high honours in Electrical Engineering (emphasis on power systems). I have published my research findings in 50+ journal & conference papers and posters. You can see a list of my papers and a copy of them on the Publication page. I enjoy spending time with family and friends in nature, reading and programming.
