I am a Professor of Smart Grids and Power Systems at The University of Melbourne, Australia. I am an IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer, an Editorial Board Member of the IEEE Power and Energy Magazine, and an IEEE Senior Member. Previously, from 2011 to 2021, I was full and part-time with The University of Manchester, UK. From 2007 to 2010 I was a Research Fellow in Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh, UK. In 2010, I also undertook an industrial secondment with the Edinburgh-based company Psymetrix Ltd (part of GE). I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering received from UNI (Peru), and a Research MSc and a PhD in Electrical Power Engineering, both received from UNESP Ilha Solteira (Brazil). I am the co-author of 180+ research papers in peer-reviewed top-class international journals and conferences, 70+ technical reports, and the co-inventor of two patents, one filed by Psymetrix Ltd and one filed by The University of Melbourne.
