Dr. Aamir Ali is currently serving as an Assistant Professor (BPS-19) in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology (QUEST), Nawabshah, Sindh, Pakistan. He is a highly dedicated academic and researcher specializing in power system planning and optimization, distributed generation, and microgrid operations in both islanded and grid-connected modes. Dr. Ali earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from QUEST in 2020, where his doctoral research focused on single and multi-objective mathematical programming, direct search evolutionary algorithms, and optimization techniques for economic dispatch, optimal power flow, and unit commitment with renewable energy integration such as wind and solar PV systems. Prior to his doctorate, he completed his Master of Engineering in Power System Optimization from the same institution in 2015 and his Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Power with an outstanding 85% score in 2012. His academic journey began with strong foundational performance at the intermediate and matriculation levels, both from the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Hyderabad, Sindh, where he secured first division and A-1 grade distinctions. With 445 citations by 342 documents, 27 published works, and an h-index of 11, Dr. Aamir Ali has established himself as an active researcher in power systems optimization. He aspires to continue contributing to academia and research while leading a top-tier institution toward excellence in education and innovation.
