Soheil Mohseni

Dr Soheil Mohseni is a Research Fellow within the Sustainable Energy Systems group at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Soheil specialises in modelling renewable and sustainable energy systems. He has a bachelor's and master's degree in power engineering from his home country, Iran. In 2018, he decided to pursue a PhD in Sustainable Energy Systems in Aotearoa–New Zealand. During his PhD studies and postdoctoral fellowship at Victoria University of Wellington, Soheil developed a proprietary microgrid sizing tool and designed several microgrids for grid-connected and off-grid communities in Aotearoa–New Zealand. Currently, during his research fellowship, he aims to focus further on sustainable energy systems and engage with public- and private-sector energy stakeholders to better understand how energy planning optimisation can drive the deployment of renewable energy systems in Aotearoa New Zealand and globally.
