Al Hussein Dabashi is currently working on the Sustainable Long Duration Batteries (SLD Batt) project, where he focuses on the optimal operation and grid-integration of emerging battery energy storage technologies. The project is a strategic €30M+ national R&D and clean-tech scale-up initiative.
He brings prior postdoctoral research experience from the University of Warwick, UK, where he worked on local distribution energy markets and energy system modelling. His work focused on enhancing system security and resilience, while his research outputs include strategic insights and recommendations to key stakeholders.
Al completed his PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Brunel University of London in 2025. His doctoral research focused on simulation techniques for cyber-physical power systems, with particular emphasis on transmission system security and resilience. The work generated valuable insights into vulnerability assessment, HVDC interconnector infeed loss, frequency response, and the development of cyber-physical real-time simulation testbeds. His thesis has attracted interest, having been downloaded more than 50 times worldwide. It is openly accessible at: https://zenodo.org/records/19941784.
Al received his BEng degree in electronic and communications engineering from the University of Leeds, UK, completing his final year engineering project on future smart grids.
