Thomas Morstyn

I received the BEng (Hon.) degree from the University of Melbourne in 2011, and the PhD degree from the University of New South Wales in 2016, both in electrical engineering. Previously, I was a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and an EPSRC research fellow at the University of Oxford. Prior to undertaking my PhD, I also worked as an electrical engineer in Rio Tinto’s Technology and Innovation group.

I am Associate Professor in Power Systems with the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford and I lead the Power Systems Architecture Lab. I am also a Tutorial Fellow at Hertford College, an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and Co-Chair of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Taskforce on Power System Operations and Control with Quantum Computing. My research is focused on power system digitalisation and market design as key interlinked enablers of the net-zero transition.
