Staff profile

I have obtained a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, in 2010, and obtained a Master degree in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan in 2017. I had worked at Saudi Electrical Company for three years, as an Electrical Engineer in (2010-2013). I have worked at Qassim University as Lecturer.

My PhD research aims to generate MVDC from renewable energy sources, such as wave energy and photovoltaics. The main objective is to investigate, design and test different connections of transformerless DC-DC converters to achieve a high voltage conversion ratio that supports the development of solid state transformer (SST) to enable the grid connection of renewable energy sources.
