PhD Title: A Large-Scale Digital Twin Framework for Cost-Optimised Green Hydrogen Export Opportunities in the Australia-ASEAN Region

H. M. Asfaq Ahmed Shihab is a PhD researcher at Swinburne University of Technology whose work focuses on applying artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies to future energy systems. His research explores how behaviour-aware energy modelling and optimisation can improve renewable energy utilisation and reduce the cost of green hydrogen production for export-oriented energy systems.

He completed his Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Software Engineering at Swinburne University, where his work focused on AI-driven sensor systems and data-centric engineering solutions. Shihab’s broader research interests include AI for sustainability, intelligent energy management, and digital infrastructure for energy transition.

Through his research, he aims to contribute practical, data-driven solutions that support Australia’s clean energy transition and long-term energy export competitiveness.
