Research

My main research interests are in the computational field of power system analysis, electric power generation, and transmission. Recent projects have been centered on traveling wave phenomena on overhead transmission lines and in gas-insulated substations. I have also worked on corona and field effects of EHV power lines. Recent telecommunications protocols developed by the Electric Power Industry are also of much interest to me and I am presently involved in further activities of a research nature in this area.
