Overview
Dr. Eduardo Alejandro Martínez Ceseña ([email protected]) is a senior lecturer (Associate Professor) in Multi-energy Systems in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Manchester, UK. He received the BEng degree from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (Mexico) in 2004, the MSc degree from Instituto Tecnológico de Morelia (Mexico) in 2008 and the PhD degree from the University of Manchester in 2012, all in electrical engineering.
Dr Martínez Ceseña has over a decade of research experience on planning, economic assessment and modelling of energy networks, especially power systems, considering large scale integration of distributed energy resources such as storage, deep uncertainty, and resilience. He has co-authored over 60 research papers in high ranking journals and international conferences and 5 book chapters, and has participated in a wide range of UK and international research projects led by both academia and industry, including TERSE (EPSRC), FutureDAMS (ESRC), Smart Street (LCNF), Forward Resilience Measures (NIA), WELLNESS (SIF), ADDRESS (FP6), DIMMER (FP7), TRANSIT (H2020) among others. These projects cover key energy topics associated with the development of the future net-zero energy systems, such as power system operation, economics and planning, business model, integration of multi-energy distributed energy technologies, and energy system resilience in consideration of deep uncertainty such as from extreme events.
