About Dr Meysam Zareiee
I hold a PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and have over 15 years of academic, teaching, and research experience. Prior to my appointment at the University of Sunderland in 2025, I was a Research Associate at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Before that, I served as an Associate Professor at Damghan University in Iran. I have also undertaken international research roles as a Visiting Researcher in Italy and Spain.
I have published around 30 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and have presented my work at several international conferences. I act as a referee for numerous highly reputable journals in this field. Alongside my academic research, I have collaborated with industry on applied projects and have secured several research grants.
I have taught a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules for more than 15 years and have supervised numerous undergraduate and postgraduate students. My research interests include robotics, industrial automation, and semiconductor devices.

Research Interests
My research focuses on industrial automation, intelligent control systems, and advanced electronic device modelling. My work integrates control theory, optimisation, and computational modelling to develop efficient, reliable, and scalable control architectures for modern manufacturing and robotic systems.
My research spans:
- PLC-based industrial control systems
- Embedded systems
- Collaborative robotics and automation systems
- Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, and adaptive production scheduling
- Supervisory Control Theory and Discrete Event Systems
- Petri Net modelling and optimisation for flexible manufacturing systems
- Semiconductor device modelling and nano-scale MOSFET/LDMOS design
- Power and high-performance electronic devices
I have contributed to both theoretical advancements and applied industrial projects. My interdisciplinary research bridges control engineering, optimisation techniques (including integer linear programming), and advanced semiconductor device design.
I actively supervise postgraduate research in automation, robotics, intelligent control, and electronic device modelling, with a strong focus on practical implementation aligned with emerging industrial technologies.
