Babak received his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Tehran in 2012, and his M.Sc. in Thermal Sciences (Energy Conversion) from University of Tehran in 2015. He is currently pursuing Ph.D. in Mechatronic Systems Engineering at Simon Fraser University, working on development of novel mathematical models for studying fuel cells performance using machine learning algorithms and artificial neural network. Modeling and optimization of different energy conversion systems and introducing novel hybrid energy systems are the main areas of Babak’s research.
