Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering

Salman Mohagheghi

Dr. Mohagheghi received the B.Eng. from University of Tehran, Iran, the M.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, and the Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA all in Electrical Engineering. He joined Colorado School of Mines in January 2011 to pursue research and teaching interests in various areas of power and energy systems. Prior to joining Mines, he was a Senior R&D Engineer at ABB Corporate Research Center, Raleigh, NC, where he worked on design and implementation of solutions for advanced distribution automation systems and distributed energy management.  Dr. Mohagheghi’s current research focuses on the intersection of energy, environment, and society.
