I am a Reader in Future Power Systems within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Manchester. I've been at the university since 2005 when I started my BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering With Industrial Experience degree. I graduated in 2009 and then started my PhD in Power Systems Dynamics which I received at the start of 2013 (my thesis has been published by Springer here). Following 18 months of post-doctoral work as a Research Associate, I started as a Lecturer in July 2014.

I have experience working at, and consulting with, DNOs and TSOs on individual projects and collaborative work on a large number of projects - primarily on the dynamic impact of integrating new technologies and power electronics into large systems. I am an active member of the IET, IEEE and Cigre and regularly review papers for conferences and leading academic journals. I have more than 60 international publications (details here) and have spoken at the leading power system conferences around the world. 

○ Member of CIGRE
○ Senior Member of IEEE PES (SMIEEE)
○ Member of IET and Chartered Engineer (MIET, CEng)
○ Fellow of the Higher Education Authority (FHEA)

I'm interested in research relating to Power System Security and the Dynamic Performance of Complex Mixed AC/DC Systems. Within these areas, the following are of particular interest:

○ Stochastic and probabilistic online dynamic security assessment using efficient statistical techniques.

○ Establishing security boundaries in complex and evolutionary power systems with many sources of uncertainty.

○ Investigating the importance of uncertainties with respect to their influence on system behaviour.

○ Determining the dynamic impact of large scale integration of emerging technologies (such as multi-terminal VSC-HVDC grids and grid-scale storage).

Please get in touch if you're interested in working with me on any of these (or other aligned) topics.

All Post-Doctoral Research Associate positions will be advertised on www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk.

For the 2019-20 academic year, I will be:

○ Lecturing and coordinating the labs for the 3rd year Power Systems Analysis unit (EEEN30047). I am also the Unit Leader for this, so direct any questions about this unit towards me.

○ Lecturing and coordinating the labs for the 4th year/MSc unit Analysis of Electrical Power and Energy Conversion Systems (EEEN40312/60312). Again, I am the Unit Leader so direct questions to me.

○ Supervising 4th year Team Projects (EEEN40035).
