Youssef Lamkharbach is a Moroccan electrical engineer and Education Fellow at the College of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P). His research combines power electronics, digital control, and artificial intelligence to support the reliable integration of renewable energy into modern electricity grids.

His doctoral research focuses on the stability and control of grid-connected photovoltaic inverters under weak-grid conditions. As solar energy penetration increases, interactions between inverter controllers and electricity grids can cause oscillations, instability, and power quality issues. To address these challenges, he develops advanced digital control strategies for LCL-filtered inverters and is currently exploring reinforcement learning to enable adaptive control under changing grid conditions.

He validates his research through real-time simulation and rapid control prototyping, bridging theoretical analysis and practical applications. His findings have been published in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences, and he has served as a reviewer for IEEE publications. A State Engineer graduate in Electrical Engineering from the Mohammadia School of Engineers in Rabat, he has over five years of teaching experience, including master’s-level courses in photovoltaic energy, and mentors student initiatives focused on the energy transition.

Through the Digital GreenTalents programme, Youssef aims to experimentally validate intelligent inverter control strategies and strengthen scientific collaboration between Morocco and Germany, contributing to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
