Education and research
Farzaneh graduated from Tehran Polytechnic in 1973. He obtained a master degree at National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse and Université Paul Sabatier in France, where he also received a PhD in 1986.[1]
Farzaneh is known for its pioneering research on high-voltage engineering.[1] His research focused on: "impact of pollution and cold climate on overhead power network equipment; corona-induced vibration; partial and arc discharge on iced and polluted insulators; and de-icing techniques and self-cleaning and icephobic coatings for power networks."[1]
He founded the International Research Centre on Atmospheric Icing and Engineering of Power Networks (CENGIVRE).[2]
Recognition
Farzaneh has been elected a fellow of multiple professional bodies, including the IEEE, IET, CIGRE, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Society of Canada.[1][3] and a Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).[4]
He has served as president of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society.[1] In recognition of his contributions, UQAC established the Masoud Farzaneh Award.[5][6]
