Thesis Title: Control and Optimization of Modern Power Systems
Supervisor: Dr Ioannis Lestas
Background
I received the B.E. (First Class Hons.) degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) in 2015. I was a research intern at the University of Canterbury (2013-2014), Vector Networks (2014-2015), and a research engineer at Unison Networks (2015-2016), and I have been involved with the major smart grid project in New Zealand, GREEN Grid. I am currently studying towards a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in the Control Group as a Cambridge Trust Scholar and William Georgetti Scholar under the supervision of Dr Ioannis Lestas.Research Interests
My current research focuses on the control and optimization of power networks. In particular I am interested in designing distributed controllers for low-inertia and hybrid AC/DC networks. I also have interests in areas such as integration of new technology into distribution networks, hosting capacity of electrical networks, power quality, and computer modelling of electrical power systems.Selected Publications
