Service
Dr. Yazdani is an IEEE Senior Member, an Assocaite Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, and also the Chairman of the IEEE Task Force on Modeling of Electronically-Interfaced Distributed Resource (DR) systems. Dr. Yazdani extensively reviewes for the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, Energy Conversion, and Power Electronics, in addition to IET Journals and International Journal of Emerging Power Systems. He has also served as a reviewer for Canadian funding agencies NSERC and OCE. Dr. Yazdani is a Professional Engineer of the Province of Ontario.
Presently, Three Graduate Student Positions Are Available. Please note that I have moved to Ryerson University and, therefore, the positions will be hosted at that university
1) Two funded masters student positions are available. The candidate will perform research in the area of control of microgrids. Candidates with strong motovation and solid academic academic background are invited to email to me the scanned pictures of their undergraduate transcripts, their CV, and copies of their publications (if any). However, only the potential candidates will be contacted, in due course; please email to yazdani@ee.ryerson.ca
2) One funded Ph.D. student position is available. The candidate will perform research in the area of control of microgrids. Candidates with relevant Masters degree, strong motivation, and solid academic background are invited to email to me the scanned pictures of their undergraduate and graduate transcripts, CV, and copies of their publications. However, only the potential candidates will be contacted, in due course; please email to yazdani@ee.ryerson.ca
