Biography

Dr. Munira Batool is an Online Lecturer, Unit Coordinator and Postgraduate Research Supervisor in Electrical Engineering Department. She graduated with a PhD degree from Curtin University in May 2019.

She has over 13 years of extensive experience of teaching and research in the university sector. She is currently working as Assistant Professor in University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila Pakistan. She has commendable teaching experiences in Power System Generation, Power System Transmission, Power System Distribution and Utilization, Power System Protection and Electric Power System Analysis. Her research interests include Distributed Energy Generation based Power systems, renewable energy sources integration and control, microgrids and smart grid. Initially, this was applied to improve the performance of Distributed Energy Generation systems using optimization methods. More recently, her research efforts have involved the optimal sizing and siting of renewable energy sources (like PV and Wind etc.) in distribution networks using novel Power Electronic converters and controllers. She is a subject matter expertise on modelling and simulating renewable energy based power system networks using software commonly used in the industry. The results of her research have been published in high ranked journal and conference papers.
