Professor Dr Saim Memon

Professor Dr. Saim Memon, CEO and Industrial Professor of Renewable Energy Engineering, unifies academic R&D, industrial manufacturing and product distribution worldwide. He transformed ideas into inventions, then into R&D, followed by mass production and market-ready products, exemplified by the world’s first Vacuum Insulated Wallpaper (VIW), Vacuum Insulated Heatable Curtain (VIHC) and Vacuum Insulated Curtain (VIC) for energy savings. Prof Saim has taught 41 modules (mostly as module leader) in electrical, electronic, mechanical and renewable energy engineering and supervised numerous PhD, MSc and MEng projects. He has held roles across leading UK and global institutions such as Huddersfield, Loughborough, London South Bank, Staffordshire, Aberdeen (NESCOL/University of Aberdeen), Arden, Lancaster, Manchester Metropolitan, Hokkaido, British University in Egypt, University of Mauritius, Hunan University of Science & Technology and Birmingham City University. His collaborations continue to grow in service of the worldwide learning community. On 24 July 2025, after two years of AI/DeepMind and LLM development, Prof Saim launched the world’s first Digital Twin AGI Professor, AISaim, in Electrical, Mechanical and Energy Engineering—a hyper-realistic, multilingual, always-on educator that fuses his pedagogy, research and industrial practice to elevate learners worldwide. Prof Saim built his academic career in the UK, earning a PhD in Mechanical, Electrical & Manufacturing Engineering (Loughborough University), a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching (University of Aberdeen), an MSc in Mechatronics (Staffordshire University) and a BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering (Distinction). He is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of Advance HE, holding Qualified Teacher status (GTCS). Saim has world-leading multidisciplinary research expertise across Electrical, Mechanical and Renewable Energy Engineering; his experience covers net-zero energy buildings, vacuum insulation, thermal management and fast charging of EV batteries, photovoltaic solar-thermal collectors and thermoelectrics. He is ranked top 0.96% worldwide in Energy and 0.86% overall over the past five years (ScholarGPS), with 150+ publications, 37 industry articles, 120 presentations/videos and 2,200+ citations (h-index 28+, i10 57+). He has served as Editor-in-Chief and Guest Editor for 5+ journals and reviewed for 40+ impactful journals. Additionally, he has delivered 100+ invited/keynote/visiting lectures and led research and industrial collaborations across 40+ countries.
