I am interested in all aspects electrical power systems engineering; my particular area of interest coalesces around: power systems analysis, planning, operation, design, control, and stability.

I am engaged with the use of both steady-state and time domain simulation tools (both electro-magnetic transient and phasor-domain) coupled with mathematical optimisation (either deterministic or stochastic methods; cheap or expensive problems; analytic or black-box problems) to quantitatively solve power systems engineering problems.

• HVDC control and AC network integration
• FACTS and power electronic applications to AC transmission
• AC network dynamic compensation methods and control
• Transient stability
• Applications of mathematical programming and optimisation methods in power systems engineering
• Applications of simulation-based optimisation in power systems engineering
