Biography

Mona Ghassemi received the B.Sc. degree from Shahed University, Tehran, Iran, in 2004, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees (Hons.) in electrical engineering from the University of Tehran, Tehran, in 2007 and 2012, respectively.

From 2013 to 2015, she was a Post-Doctoral Fellow with the NSERC/Hydro-Quebec/UQAC Industrial Chair on Atmospheric Icing of Power Network Equipment (CIGELE), University of Québec at Chicoutimi (UQAC), Chicoutimi, QC, Canada. She was also a Post-Doctoral Fellow with the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA, from 2015 to 2017.

In 2017, she joined the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, USA, as an Assistant Professor. In 2021, she was named both the Steven O. Lane Junior Faculty Fellow and the College of Engineering Faculty Fellow at Virginia Tech.

In 2022, she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Dallas as Associate Professor with Tenure and Chairholder of Texas Instruments Early Career Award.

She received three most prestigious, most competitive career awards: the 2021 Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career Research Program Award, the 2020 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award, and the 2020 Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) Award.

She has authored more than 110 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers and one book chapter, and received four best paper awards. Her research interests include transportation electrification, clean energy, electrical insulation materials and systems, high voltage/field engineering and technology, power systems, and plasma science.

Dr. Ghassemi is an At-Large Member of the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS), a Corresponding Member of the IEEE Conference Publication Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES), an Active Member of several CIGRE working groups and IEEE Task Forces, and a member of the Education Committee of the IEEE DEIS and PES.

She is an Associate Editor of IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON DIELECTRICS AND ELECTRICAL INSULATION, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS, High Voltage, International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, and Power Electronic Devices and Components (Elsevier), and a Guest Editor of Energies. She also received the 2020 Contribution Award from the IET High Voltage Journal.

She has been a registered Professional Engineer since 2015 and a senior member of IEEE since 2016.
