Mohamed A M Elansary, PhD
Target: Postdoctoral Research Associate — Center for Wind Energy / UTD Wind (Model-Free Real-Time Optimization) · UT Dallas
Sourced insights
- Role thesis — model-free real-time optimization of wind farms: Support development, simulation, and testing of model-free algorithms for real-time optimization of turbine operating conditions (e.g., yaw set points) to increase annual energy production under an NSF STTR.

- Center framing — UTD Wind control systems research: Fundamental and applied research in blades and rotors; control systems; fluid flows; materials and structural modeling; digital twins; energy storage and grid integration for land-based and offshore wind. Source: wind.utdallas.edu
Proof — env/energy systems + optimization transfer
- PhD Environmental Engineering, TAMUK 2022 — multimodel monthly-to-seasonal forecast uncertainty quantification and reduction across basins/hydroclimates (HPC: MODFLOW, VIC, PIHM, NASA LIS; UCAR / TACC Stampede; USGS/NOAA/NASA data).
- CTO, Lucent Energy LLC (Dallas, 2022–2023) — data pipelines and automated monitoring for energy-production tracking.
- Production scientific ML / evaluation; Python primary with MATLAB and C/C++ from the research stack; NSF-backed manuscripts/grants and graduate mentoring.
- Arlington / DFW based · Richardson onsite (remote not available) · exact posted $60,000 DOQ.
- Honest frame: related-field doctorate — not an invented ME/EE control degree, wind-farm control publication record, extremum-seeking papers, or real-time control-hardware ownership. Stretch: extremum-seeking / power-systems control onboarding with MATLAB/Simulink at UTD Wind.
