Mahdieh S. Sadabadi is an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom. Previously, she held academic positions at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Sheffield. She was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Computational and Biological Learning (CBL) Group at the Department of Engineering, the University of Cambridge, and affiliated with Trinity College in Cambridge. She was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Division of Automatic Control at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University in Sweden. She received her Ph.D. in Control Systems from the Automatic Control Laboratory (LA), Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, in February 2016. She held visiting positions at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal (Montreal, QC, Canada), Methods and Algorithms for Control (MAC) group, LAAS-CNRS (Toulouse, France),  HHMI Janelia Research Campus (Ashburn, VA, USA), and KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden). Her research interests are generally centered on robust fixed-structure control of large-scale uncertain systems, networked control systems, and their applications in power grids, microgrids, and power electronic converters.

○ Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE)

○ Humboldt Fellow

○ Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA)

○ Member of Trusted Digital Systems

My research area is mainly about cyber-physical energy systems. Within the theme, the following are of particular interest:

○ Microgrids.

○ Advanced control systems in power-electronics-rich power systems.

○ Enhancing resilience and reliability in cyber-physical systems.

○ Grid forming and grid following inverters.

Please get in touch if you are interested in working with me on any of these topics or any relevant topics.

Postdoctoral Research Positions

There are no postdoctoral positions currently available. However, if you are interested in joining the research group for a postdoctoral role, funding may be accessible through established fellowship programs such as Marie Curie Individual and EPSRC Postdoctoral fellowships. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your research plans and funding options.

Academic Staff Research Visit

If you are interested in visiting my research group, please feel free to contact me. I am always open to discussing potential opportunities for you to conduct a short-term/long-term research visit with the group.

Important Note: Unfortunately, due to the University of Manchester's recent policies on fee structures for PhD visiting students, I am no longer able to accept visiting PhD students.
