Arsalan Muhammad Soomar was born in Village Walheat Muhammad Essa Mangrio, a rural area of Umerkot, Sindh, Pakistan. His family later moved to Hyderabad, Sindh, where he completed his primary and secondary education.
He subsequently pursued higher education in electrical engineering at Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro, Pakistan. He earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, followed by a master’s degree in electrical power engineering.
Arsalan is currently in the final year of his Ph.D. in Electrical and Control Engineering at Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland, and is expected to complete his doctoral degree by the end of 2026. As part of his doctoral studies, he has also undertaken an Erasmus+ research exchange at Aalborg University, Denmark.
His doctoral research focuses on electromagnetic interference reduction in gallium nitride-based high-frequency power converters. His work includes electromagnetic modelling, converter optimization, conducted EMI mitigation, filter design, and experimental hardware validation. His broader research interests include power electronics, renewable energy systems, electromagnetic compatibility, industrial automation, control engineering, and simulation-based engineering design.
Arsalan has authored and co-authored more than 20 scientific publications that have received over 900 citations, with an h-index of 12. He has also completed more than 150 peer reviews for international journals and conferences associated with professional organizations and publishers, including IEEE, Elsevier, Springer Nature, Frontiers, and IAES.
Before commencing his doctoral studies, he worked as a Solar Design Engineer at YellowLite, Inc., where he contributed to the design and implementation of renewable-energy systems. Alongside his research activities, he supports academic publishing, technical consulting, student mentoring, and the communication of engineering and scientific knowledge.
Beyond his academic and professional work, Arsalan enjoys travelling, photography, research, and content creation. He has travelled across 17 countries, including Pakistan, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Through traveling, he enjoys exploring different cultures, landscapes, cities, and ways of life while documenting his experiences through photography and digital content.
His professional objective is to bridge advanced academic research and practical industrial applications by developing efficient, reliable, and experimentally validated solutions for modern power-electronic systems.
