Amir Naebi Toutounchi is a researcher at the Center for Sustainable Energy, working in the Batteries and Electrification Technologies (BET) Unit. His main fields of activity include energy storage modelling, control and optimization, hybrid energy systems, and microgrid integration.

Working at FBK since 2024, Amir is involved in several European research projects, notably SMHYLES and IPCEI EuBatIn. In SMHYLES, he contributes to the design, deployment, and demonstration of salt- and water-based hybrid energy storage systems for multiple use cases across Europe (industrial microgrids, islanded grids, and EV charging). Through the IPCEI framework, his work aligns with Europe’s strategic push to build a fully integrated and competitive battery value chain.

Amir holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering and is a member of professional electrical engineering associations. Over the years, he has collaborated as an expert on energy storage, grid integration, and innovation projects across academia and industry.
