Dr. Sina Eslamizadeh

Research associate (postdoctoral researcher) in hyBit Project

Sina, an industrial engineer with over five years of experience in various industrial roles, holds an MBA degree from Steinbeis University Berlin. His studies focused on international marketing and finance strategies specifically tailored for industrial companies, with a deep emphasis on the heavy industries.

In March 2023, Sina successfully defended his PhD dissertation at Delft University of Technology. His research centered around managing the transition to renewable power within the industrial sector by establishing industrial community energy systems. Following his PhD, Sina took on the role of Sustainability Manager at Verder International, a Dutch giant in the pump manufacturing industry. His responsibilities included constructing their ESG program and aligning it with the CSRD Standard directive.

Since March 2024, Sina has been a postdoctoral fellow at the HyBit project, where he contributes to agent-based modeling activities, conducts stakeholder analysis, and drives business model evolution related to hydrogen integration in industrial harbors.
