Azadeh’s focus is on the interaction of technology, systems, and policy with energy and the environment. She obtained her Ph.D. in Energy Engineering. Prior to joining ECCC (Environment and Climate Change Canada), she was a research fellow at the University of Waterloo and in the Group for Research in Decision Analysis (GERAD) at the Business School of Montreal (HEC Montreal) as well as a sessional lecturer at McGill University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of integrated system modeling, optimization, and energy policy. She has investigated the technical, environmental, and economic aspects of urban energy system modeling (micro-grid applications), and power-to-gas as a feasible energy storage technology and low-carbon sustainable energy alternative for transportation and for the hydrogen economy. Moreover, she has worked on an open-source energy model for energy transitioning planning to net-zero emission energy systems at the city level. She obtained several national and institutional awards, including U.S. Department of Energy awards, a MITACS Accelerate Grant, and GERAD award. As examples of her successful mentorship, teams that she co-advised won the Grand prize (2016) and honorable mention (2018) in the Hydrogen Design Contest, held by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
