Amin Mohammadpour Shotorbani is a postdoctoral research fellow in energy systems at the University of British Columbia. He is interested in Smart Grid technologies and nonlinear control methods to microgrids, FACTS, VSC-HVDC, HV-MTDC Grid, Renewable Integration, WADC and WAMS. His experience includes designing robust adaptive nonlinear control using CLF, CVLF, SMC, TSMC, FOC, and developing adaptive observer techniques for power system applications. He has also been involved in the implementation of distributed optimization techniques and designing decentralized control for power system applications.
