Dr Hamed Hamzehbahmani (SM’ 18) is an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering in the Department of Engineering at Durham University. He received the BEng (Hons) in electrical engineering in 2005, MSc (Hons) in electrical engineering in 2007, and PhD degree in electrical engineering from Cardiff University, UK in 2014. Following his PhD, he was appointed as a research associate at Cardiff University in corporation with UK National Grid. He was later appointed as a lecturer in electrical engineering at Ulster University in the UK. He had also worked as a consultant engineer in HV substations and distribution networks, with engineering consultant companies. He has authored more than 70 papers in peer reviewed journals and conferences, and a written textbook on “Electric Circuit Theory”. His research interest is focussed on experimental study and analytical modelling of magnetic properties of electrical steel and magnetic materials under complex magnetising conditions, advanced manufacturing processes and novel condition monitoring of magnetic cores, and new magnetic materials for future energy systems (renewable energy systems and variable speed drives).

Dr Hamzehbahmani is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE), and Member of the IET. He is also Associate Editor-in-Chief (AEiC) for IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Magnetics and committee member of the UK Magnetic Society.
