My name is Eslam Mofreh, and I am a PhD candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), actively contributing to the MEGAMIND Program. Originally from Egypt, I have academic experience, holding two master’s degrees in Computer and Electrical Engineering—one from Al-Azhar University in Egypt and the other from the University of Ottawa in Canada. My academic achievements are further distinguished by my involvement in two significant research projects in Egypt, which played a crucial role in the country’s digital transformation. Through these projects, I published research works and contributed to the practical development of digital platforms.
In addition to my academic accomplishments, I bring over five years of industry experience in software engineering. I have worked with prominent corporations such as Emirates Airlines in the UAE, where I gained valuable expertise and practical insights that enhance my research and contributions to the MEGAMIND Program.
Within the MEGAMIND Program, my research focuses on digital control coordination at the grid edges. I utilize advanced edge computing technology to facilitate distributed computation and local decision-making, aiming to optimize coordination between grid edges for more efficient and seamless grid operations. My work is dedicated to developing sophisticated coordination schemes that integrate distributed computation, artificial intelligence, and innovative coordination mechanisms, ultimately enhancing the overall efficiency and stability of the electricity distribution grid.
My involvement in MEGAMIND exemplifies the program’s collaborative spirit, bringing together diverse expertise and fostering innovation. By working closely with researchers in Energy Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and Energy Regulation, as well as key industrial stakeholders such as the three largest Dutch Distribution System Operators and the Dutch Transmission System Operator, I aim to drive significant advancements in the energy transition. My contributions are pivotal to the MEGAMIND program’s overarching success, reflecting its commitment to integrating cutting-edge research with practical applications to transform the future of energy distribution.
