Hamzeh Beiranvand (Member, IEEE) received his B.Sc and M.Sc. in electrical engineering from Lorestan University, Iran, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. During his undergraduate studies, he received a four-year scholarship from the Ministry of Education. He completed his Ph.D. in 2020 on the control and efficiency optimization of solid-state transformers (SSTs). Since October 2020, he is working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Power Electronics, Kiel University, Germany, leading the Battery Systems (BES) group. In 2021, he was elected as a member of the Kiel Nano, Surface and Interface Science (KiNSIS). He has published more than 50 conference and journal papers during his research career. He serves as an Associate Editor in IEEE Journal of Selected and Emerging Topics on Power Electronics and as reviewer in several IEEE journals with focus on power electronics and batteries. He has developed electrochemical-thermal models for Li-ion batteries for temperature-aware charging strategies, safety, battery management system (BMS), and battery cell design. He has designed power electronic converters by incorporating the electrochemical effects of Li-ion batteries. He has introduced optimal charging strategies that can improve the system-level efficiency of battery systems. His interests include batteries and the interaction between batteries and power converters.
