Fahad Maoulida holds a Ph.D. in Energy and Mechanics, with a specialization in renewable energy systems, hybrid microgrid optimization, and multi-physical modeling of energy processes. He has conducted research on the techno-economic optimization of PV–wind–diesel–storage systems for off-grid areas, as well as advanced modeling of PEM electrolyzers. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the GREAH Laboratory of the University of Le Havre Normandie, where he focuses on the characterization of electrical and thermal degradation in PEM electrolyzers, contributing to the understanding of performance losses and durability in hydrogen production technologies. His work aims to develop innovative and resilient solutions for energy transition in island and remote regions.
