Expertise
I am an Associate Professor of Electrical Energy Systems at the University of Exeter, with a strong background in both academia and industry. Over the years, my work has focused on improving the protection, stability, and reliability of modern power networks as they transition towards renewable and customer-oriented operation.
My main areas of expertise include Power System Protection, Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC), Power System Stability, Smart Grids, and the Integration of Renewable Energy Resources. I am particularly interested in developing practical solutions for blackout prevention, adaptive protection, and improving the resilience of low-inertia systems.
I make use of emerging tools such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, and data-driven analysis to design intelligent protection and monitoring frameworks. These systems aim to improve situational awareness, enable quicker fault detection, and support predictive asset management, all contributing to safer and more efficient grid performance.
Having worked closely with both industry partners and government organisations, I bring a systems-level understanding of how advanced protection and control strategies can accelerate customer connections, increase network flexibility, and support the reliable delivery of low-carbon electricity.
