Biography

Moein Ghadrdan received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2015, where he graduated as a top-ranked student. He received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2017, also graduating with the highest rank among his peers. His M.Sc. thesis focused on the reliability-oriented design of modular multilevel converters. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 2022, completing his doctoral dissertation with an excellent evaluation. His Ph.D. research was centered on converter-level health monitoring of power electronic converters.

From 2021 to 2022, he was a Visiting Ph.D. Scholar with the AAU Energy Department, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark. Since 2024, he has been a Post-Doctoral Researcher with the Institute for Technical Physics (ITEP), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany. His research interests include converter-level health monitoring, reliability-oriented and fault-tolerant design of power electronic converters, DC grid protection, and reliability assessment of power systems.
