Shahin began his academic journey in 2006 at Tabriz Technical and Vocational College, where he earned an Associate Degree in Industrial Electrical Engineering in 2008. During this period, he developed a solid foundation in industrial electrical systems, including electrical machines, panels, and hydraulic systems, with a strong emphasis on system design and implementation.
In 2008, he pursued a Bachelor's degree in Control and Instrumentation Technology at Allameh Mohaddes Nouri University. There, he focused on control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial automation, gaining in-depth knowledge of electrical system control and planning.
In 2016, he completed his first Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at Azad University. His thesis, titled “Reactive Power Compensation in Wind Farms with UPFC”, involved comprehensive research on wind farm topologies, fault analysis, environmental variability, and advanced FACTS devices such as STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC. The outcomes of this research led to several conference participations, including a publication in IEEE.
From 2012 to 2022, Shahin worked as an electrical engineer and maintenance supervisor for various engineering firms, including the Tourism Bank and MTN Irancell. His roles involved practical maintenance operations, system diagnostics, and leading engineering teams.
In 2022, Shahin began his second Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Pavia, Italy. During this period, he spent six months as an Erasmus student at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, where he conducted research on stability analysis in converter-dominated power systems. This research was also published in IEEE. His master’s thesis at the University of Pavia, “A Review of Fault Diagnostic Deep Learning Methods in Power Converters”, involved a comprehensive analysis of state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies, with plans underway for publication in a high-impact journal.
Since February 2025, Shahin has been working as a researcher at the University of Vaasa, Finland, as part of the “Grid Code Certification by Simulation” project. This work, in collaboration with Danfoss, Kempower, Fingrid, and Wärtsilä, focuses on real-time simulation using OPAL-RT and Typhoon HIL platforms to evaluate the grid-code compliance of modern power electronic devices, based on standards such as EN 50549, RfG, and IEEE 1547.
