BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Allaham is an established researcher with fifteen years of experience in numerous academic roles. His research involves projects around the smart grid, electricity distribution, the power sector and multi-vector energy systems. These projects address the need to cost-effectively decarbonize the energy sector over the next thirty years by facilitating innovative network integration of new generation, and the integration of different energy vectors including Hydrogen. Computer simulation, laboratory investigation and demonstration projects are used together to produce new knowledge that delivers this requirement.
