Mahdi Ghane
Field of work
Currently, Dr. Mahdi Ghane is an Associate professor at Department of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematical Sciences at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). He is also associated as a lecturer and researcher with Department of Marine Technology, NTNU. He is lecturing on the topic of Stochastic Methods Applied in Nonlinear Analysis of Marine Structures (PhD-level) as well as co-supervising a Ph.D. student on the topic of intelligent fault diagnosis of floating wind turbine drive train.
His main research area is wind energy, fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control, reliability and optimization. He had direct collaboration with several industries such as Equinor, Yinson, Bane Nor, Aker Solution, Kverner and ABS. He is now working on an NFR project (InteDiag-WTCP) related to Centre for Floating Structures for the Next Generation Ocean Industries (SFI BLUES), Norwegian Research Centre on Wind Energy (FME NorthWind).
