Dr Mina Mortazavi

Lecturer in Engineering

Mina Mortazavi Mina joined the school in Oct 2019 after the completion of her PhD at Brunel University London.

Mina completed her BSc in electronics engineering at Shahrood University of Technology in Iran. After 5 years of work experience as a design engineer in low and high voltage transmission/distribution, she decided to continue her education by studying an MSc in advanced digital system (University of Hertfordshire) and an MSc in advanced engineering design (Brunel University London).

She started her teaching career during her PhD studies at Brunel University London and International College (University of West of England) in various subjects.

Fundamentals of electric circuit analysis
Foundation of electronics
Analogue electronics
Signals and systems
Automatic control

Multi-disciplinary and complex systems and processes
