Energy Systems

I am an Honorary Fellow with the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. My main position is Associate Professor in Power Systems with the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. I am also an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and Co-Chair of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Taskforce on Quantum Computing for Power System Operations. My research is focused on the design of control systems and markets to enable the large-scale integration of distributed power system flexibility.

Currently working on innovation for offshore wind in the Forth and Tay cluster Offshore Wind Place Based Impact Accelerator Account (PBIAA). Previously with the Policy and Innovation Group within the Institute for Energy Systems, on a range of UK and European projects. Donald's research topics include techno-economic analysis and cost reduction, lifecycle assessment, technology commercialisation, and the research & innovation requirements for the offshore renewable energy sector.

Prior to this, Donald completed an Engineering Doctorate, with research on testing renewable energy devices in a combined wave-current environment at the University of Edinburgh's FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, as part of the Industrial Doctorate Centre of Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE). His background is as a civil engineer/hydrologist, with over nine years experience in small hydropower schemes and renewable energy, flood risk assessment and flood management, plus coastal engineering
