He has also chaired a number of international conferences and been a member of various technical committees. He was an editorial member of International Refereed Journal of Engineering Science and Technology and is currently an editorial member of American Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems and International Advanced Research Journal of Engineering and Technology. He has to his name a book on Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms and around five book chapters.

He has delivered his services as a reviewer for multiple international journals and conferences and for a book. He has delivered a large number of expert lectures in different engineering institutions across India. He has guided around 30 undergraduate and ten postgraduate projects. Currently, 40 research scholars are working under his guidance. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, Life Member of the Indian Society of Technical Education, and a member of IAENG. He understands seven different languages at various levels.

Mohammad Sanjari (PhD, FHEA) received his PhD in Electrical Engineering in 2013 from Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT), Tehran, Iran after successfully accomplishing the project "Control of Micro-grid using Distributed Object-Oriented Intelligent System with Partial Information" in which he investigated the partial information- based distributed control scheme of a microgrid to increase its reliability in different modes of operation, taking into account the problems of cyber systems.

He then joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore as a postdoctoral research fellow, where he worked on a project on increasing reliability and economic performance of the microgrid with funding of S$2.78M. After that, he joined the University of Auckland, New Zealand as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department to work on developing a generalized framework to model cascading propagation in large- scale power grids, especially in low- carbon energy networks, with the help of graph theory and big data analytics to form a platform for studying the initiation, progression, and propagation of events in a largescale power system.

Since January 2019, he has been with the School of Engineering and Built Environment, Griffith University, Australia. From 2015 to 2017, alongside his research project in NTU, he worked with SembCorp Marine (SM), Singapore on the project "Long-Term and Short-Term Load Forecast in Highly Varying Demand Sectors", which resulted in a technical report, user manual, and commercial software used by the company for strategically operating shipyards located in Singapore, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. After that, he organized training sessions for SM's engineers to work effectively with the load forecast module to gain better insight into appropriate decision- making procedures for network operation. From 2017 to 2019, he was an active member of the Te P¿naha Matatini (TPM), Whanau, an active trans- disciplinary community with a shared interest in complex systems and networks, comprising postgraduate students, postdocs, and early career researchers from all over New Zealand.

He is the author of more than 70 journal and conference papers. His h- index (Google Scholar metrics) is 24, showing impactful research studies in his areas of interest, which include applying artificial intelligence and data mining in power systems analysis, control, condition monitoring, and assessment. He has conducted research studies on decision making in power systems, considering network security and risk constraints by using machine learning methods and big data analysis techniques. He also has expertise in probabilistic analysis of smart multi-carrier energy systems, including hybrid load demands and renewable energy resources.
