Dr Hesamaldin Jadidbonab

In 2011, Dr Jadidbonab graduated from Aachen University in Germany with a master’s degree in automotive powertrain and chassis engineering with a first-class degree. While pursuing his studies, they also worked as a research assistant at FEV GmbH from 2008 until 2012. During his PhD and fellowship at City University of London, he has developed considerable competence in the design of multiphase flow devices through the use of experimental procedures. In particular, he gained experience in the design and development of test rigs suitable for the thermo-hydraulic evaluation of various flow devices and the visualization/quantification of complex single or two-phase flows such as highly transient cavitating injector flows using cutting-edge optical methods and powerful CFD-capable software.

He has joined CFTC in March 2020 to work on SECURE-CAV, an Innovate UK industrial funded project with Siemens which was an ambitious collaborative project that aims to improve the automotive safety and security; It concluded in the first on-chip and in-life monitoring solution of tomorrow’s connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs).

Currently, Dr Hesamaldin Jadidbonab is a lecturer in System Security in the Centre for Future Transport and Cities (CFTC) at Coventry University, where he is leading the System Security Group in  tooling and developing security-specific testbeds for automotive cybersecurity and autonomous vehicle research.

With over 12 years of experience in the field of automotive engineering, his research activity was mainly around the Cybersecurity, Powertrain, Calibration, and aftertreatment systems. Throughout his research career, he has been involved in a number of public and industrial funded projects, focusing on Proof of Concept for automotive applications, with the opportunity to work in a number of countries, including Germany, England, and Italy, in both academic and business sectors.
