Research
Dr Abdin has published extensively on clean and hydrogen energy technologies. His research has focussed on hydrogen production and end use, energy storage, advanced physics-based modelling and simulation, and more. Please see this link for a full publication list.
Biography
Prior to working at ANU, Dr Abdin held Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at Monash University, Australia and the University of British Columbia, Canada. His research with in these positions included hydrogen microgrids, hydrogen storage for off-grid electricity supply, and computer modelling of all aspects of renewable energy systems, from the device to the enterprise level.
Dr Abdin completed a PhD in Engineering Physics from Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia. His thesis focused on modelling the principal components of hybrid energy systems, with energy storage provided by hydrogen.
Before his PhD, Dr Abdin worked for a telecommunications company, Telenor, as a senior manager. He was actively involved with the research and development team for more than five years. He has also worked for two years as a university lecturer and taught Fundamental of Physics, Semiconductor Physics, Solid-state Physics, and Digital electronics.
Activities & Awards
Dr Abdin is a supervisor for the Integrated energy system based on hydrogen storage project.
