Accepting PhD Students
Dr Mahmoud Dhimish received an M.Sc. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Distinction) from the University of Huddersfield in 2016 and a Ph.D. in Renewable Energy from the same University in 2018. From 2018 to August 2021, he worked as Senior Lecturer in Electronics and Control Engineering and was the Head of Photovoltaic Laboratory at the University of Huddersfield. From September 2021, he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering at York University as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Electrical Engineering, working on developing cutting-edge research in the area of photovoltaics/renewables and power electronics. In November 2020, Dr Mahmoud Dhimish was named one of the top 15 young scientists in Great Britain, according to a leading index of scientific academics published by Stanford University. He is a member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

Our Latest (updated 26 June 2022) work:
Potential-induced degradation (PID) of photovoltaic (PV) modules is one of the most severe types of degradation in modern modules, where power losses depend on the strength of the electric field, the temperature and relative humidity, and the PV module materials. In our recent work [1], we have investigated the power losses, development of hotspots, mm-level defects, and the performance ratio (PR) of 28 PID-affected PV modules. We have also studied, as presented in [2], the correlation of four crack modes and their effects on the temperature of the solar cells. Here we have seen that not all crack types can lead to what is known as "hotspots". Note: both papers are fully open access; enjoy the read!
