Dr Salimi graduated in electrical engineering from IAU university (Science and Research Branch) Tehran, Iran in 2012. He worked as a lecturer/assistant professor from 2011 until 2019 at the IAU University, Ardabil Branch, Iran, in the Electrical and Electronic Department. He taught different courses in BSc, MSc and PhD levels which were related to power electronics, controller design and analogue electronics, and supervised post-graduate and PhD students. In 2019 he joined the University of Nottingham (UoN), Power Electronics, Machine, and Control (PEMC) group as a researcher for three years. Here he researched more/full electric aircraft, sponsored by Clean Sky 2 consortium. The group comprised 9 academic staff, 60 Research Fellows, 70 PhD students, and 3 Project Management and administrative staff, delivering high-impact teaching, research, and industrial collaborations. Since 2011, he has published 31 papers in IET, Elsevier, John-Wiley, Springer, Taylor and Francis peer-reviewed journals with 24 papers published in international conferences and is the invited reviewer of several power electronics journals e.g., IEEE transaction on power electronics, IEEE transaction of on industrial electronics, IET power electronics and Energy Elsevier. Areas of research include design, simulation, and practical implementation of the power electronics systems for several academic/industrial projects, external funds and KTP related activities for more/full electric aircraft and vehicles, grid-connected renewable energy systems, and active power filters.
