Summary
Mehdi Sheikhalishahi is an IIoT Application Specialist based in Stuttgart with 11 years of experience at the intersection of cloud computing, energy-efficient data center design, and industrial IoT. With a PhD in Computer Science focused on energy-efficient resource management, he has moved from academic research and EU projects to applied IIoT solutions at FANUC Europe, blending systems architecture with pragmatic deployment. He has a strong track record in energy-adaptive data center initiatives (DC4Cities) and long-standing collaboration with the Energy Efficient HPC Working Group, shaping measurement methodologies and demand-response strategies. Comfortable across research, consulting, and engineering roles, Mehdi brings both protocol-level security and large-scale orchestration experience from early Grid and HPC work to modern cloud-native IIoT stacks. A lesser-known strength is his hands-on background in network security and PKI from early career roles, which informs his holistic approach to resilient, efficient industrial systems.
