Skill-Driven Data Sampling and Deep Learning Framework for Minute-Scale Solar Forecasting with Sky Images
Solar RRL
Amar Meddahi
Doctoral Researcher in Energy Meteorology
Final-year Ph.D. student at Mines Paris – PSL and TotalEnergies. I study how clouds affect solar energy systems and how we can better model them in real-time.
In 2025, my research was awarded third place (out of 70+ applicants) in the 9th edition of the Pierre Laffitte Prize.
Outside research, I enjoy running, art exhibitions, and touching grass. I also compiled a list of PhD resources for incoming doctoral students.
