DR. Muhammad Talib Faiz

Muhammad Talib Faiz received his M.Sc. degree from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China, in 2016, and his Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China, in 2021, both in electrical engineering. His doctoral research focused on the robust and efficient design of grid-connected inverters for renewable power generation.

From 2021 to 2024, he served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Advances in Reliability and Safety (CAiRS) and in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where he led research on reliability-oriented modeling of power electronic converter and advanced integrated on-board charging systems for electric vehicles.

He is currently a Senior Researcher in the EPOWERS Research Group at the MOBI Electromobility Research Centre, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Within the EU Horizon projects EFFEREST and HARPOONERS, he drives the development of high-fidelity electro-thermal models and digital twin frameworks for electric powertrains, and leads the design and validation of multi-objective optimization strategies for modular energy storage and conversion systems in both automotive and marine microgrid applications.

His research focuses on bridging physics-based modeling, system-level optimization, and digital control to enable reliable, efficient, and scalable electrified transportation and renewable energy systems.
