Fast Charging and Resilient Transportation Infrastructures in Smart Cities

Hossam A. Gabbar, PhD, is a full Professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science, and cross appointed in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, where he has established both the Energy Safety and Control Lab (ESCL) and Advanced Plasma Engineering Lab. He is the recipient of the Senior Research Excellence Aware for 2016, UOIT. He is leading national and international research in the areas of smart energy grids, smart and autonomous transportation, intelligent safety and control systems, advanced plasma systems and their applications on nuclear and clean energy systems. Dr. Gabbar obtained his B.Sc. degree in 1988 with first class of honor from the Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University (Egypt). In 2001, he obtained his Ph.D. degree from Okayama University (Japan) in the area of Safety Engineering. From 2001 till 2004, he joined Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan). From 2004 till 2008, he joined Okayama University (Japan) as a tenured Associate Professor, in the Division of Industrial Innovation Sciences. From 2007 till 2008, he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Toronto. He has more than 220 publications, including patents, books / chapters, journal and conference papers. He been invited and participated in world-known conferences and delivered plenary talks on number of scientific events and invitations to international universities. He has supervised and hosted undergraduate, graduate, postdocs, visiting researchers and scholars from different countries including: Japan, India, Qatar, Egypt, Mexico, Malaysia, China, Brazil, Chile, UAE, and Colombia. 

He has participated in and led several large scale national and international projects, in Japan, China, the Middle East, and Canada, related to connected autonomous vehicles, fast charging infrastructures for smart transportation, smart energy grids, intelligentcontrol systems and safety design and operation synthesis and optimization of energy systems, micro energy grids, and integrated gas-power grids, plasma-based waste-to-energy. He proposed new integrated energy storage systems based on hybrid energy storage including flywheel and battery technologies, and applied on power substations, transportation electrification, and urban infrastructures. He is the founding general chair of the annual IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering Conference.
