Biography Dr. Hadi Naderiallaf was born on April 16, 1986, in Mashhad, Iran. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (High Voltage Engineering) from the University of Bologna, Italy, earned in 2021, and an M.Sc. in the same field from Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, completed in 2012. His master’s thesis focused on high-voltage insulating liquids and was conducted at the Schering Institute of High Voltage Techniques and Engineering at Leibniz University Hannover.

Dr. Naderiallaf brings five years of industrial experience as a high-voltage transformer fluid specialist, particularly in transformer oil reclamation. From 2017 to 2021, he pursued his Ph.D. at the Laboratory of Innovative Materials for Electrical Systems within the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering "Guglielmo Marconi" at the University of Bologna. His doctoral research, supported by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (GRIDABLE project), focused on high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. In 2019, he further enhanced his expertise as a visiting scholar and Ph.D. researcher at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, working with the Department of High Voltage Engineering for three months.

From April 2021 to January 2025, Dr. Naderiallaf served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Power Electronics, Machines, and Control (PEMC) Research Institute at the University of Nottingham, UK. In January 2025, he was promoted to Senior Research Fellow within the same institute. His current research focuses on the design and reliability of electrical machine insulation systems for aerospace, automotive, and marine applications.

Dr. Naderiallaf’s primary research interests include electrical insulating materials, partial discharge detection and modeling under AC, DC, and PWM conditions, insulation reliability in electrical machines, HVDC cable design, multiphysics modeling, space charge measurement and analysis, condition monitoring techniques, HV transformer asset management, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), and transformer oil reclamation.

In addition to his research, Dr. Naderiallaf actively contributes to the scientific community as a peer reviewer for esteemed journals, including IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (TDEI), IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification (TTE), Journal of High Voltage (IET), and Measurement Journal (Elsevier).
