Mohammad Mehdi Amiri got his PhD degree in electrical engineering department at Shahid Beheshti University. His research is mainly focused on the integrated operation of gas/hydrogen and electricity networks, electricity markets, and decarbonization. He collaborates with the Electrical Networks Research Institute as a research associate and Noursun Energy Company as an optimization and electricity market manager. Hossein Ameli is an advanced research fellow in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London. He received his PhD from Imperial College London in 2018 and has more than 12 years of experience in integrated energy system modelling. His expertise spans the planning and operation of whole-energy systems, with particular emphasis on electricity, gas and hydrogen interactions, system flexibility,resilience, and pathways to net zero. He has contributed to major research, policy and industry projects, including work for the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) and the National Energy System Operator (NESO). Heis a contributing author to the IPCC Working Group III and a member of the UNECE Committee on Sustainable Energy Sasan Azad is a research associate in the Electrical Network Research Institute at Shahid Beheshti University, Iran. His main areas of interest are the security and voltage stability of power systems, smart grids, and electric vehicles Mohammadreza Daneshvar, PhD, SMIEEE, is an Assistant Professor, founder and head of the Laboratory of Multi-Carrier Energy Networks Modernization at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral research fellow in the field of modern multi-energy networks at the Smart Energy Systems Lab of the University of Tabriz for two years. He obtained his MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical Power Engineering from the University of Tabriz, all with honors. He has (co)authored more than 50 technical journal and conference articles, 10 books, 30 book chapters, and 10 national and international research projects in the field. Dr. Daneshvar is a member of the Editorial Board of the Energy and Built Environment Journal and the Early Career Editorial Board of the Sustainable Cities and Society Journal. He also served as the guest editor for the Sustainable Cities and Society, and Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments journals. Moreover, he serves as an active reviewer with more than 130 top journals, and was ranked among the top 1% of reviewers in Engineering and Cross-Field based on Publons global reviewer database.
