My PhD is ending by end of October being an Early Stage Researcher for MSCA ETN- PETER Project, member of research group in EMC department of Leibniz University Germany. I  do research on Statistical Electromagnetic Risk Analysis of Large and Complex Systems and provide the experimental verification, appropriate measurement procedures and model validation which takes place at Wehrwissenschaftliches Insitut für Schutztechnologien (WIS), Germany). The goal of the project is to develop statistical EMI risk-assessment methodologies that combine both technical and non-technical aspects to be used for mitigating the risk of Intentional and unintentional EMI in critical infrastructures such as smart grid, automation and defence. 

I graduated in electrical and power engineering MEng from University of Bath, UK on 2016. Previously I worked for the UK electrisity transmission system operator (SO), National Grid, as a SCADA and data intefrerences engineer from 2014 to 2015. I also worked for National Grid electricity transmission owner (ET) as a system desgin enineerer from 2016 to 2018. Then joined Burns & McDonell T&D as a power system consultant working mainly on smart energy solotions from 2018 to 2019.
