Sebastian Neira Castillo (MIEEE, MIET) is a Lecturer in Electrical Machines and Drives at The University of Edinburgh. He received a dual PhD in Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and the University of Edinburgh, with a thesis titled "Design of Power Converters with Embedded Energy Storage for Hybrid DC-AC Applications".
His research expertise lies within the power electronics field with extensive practical experience in developing novel power converter topologies and control systems with direct use in electrical machine drives, renewable energy applications and energy storage systems. A core component of his work is the experimental validation of power conversion systems, with experience testing up to megawatt-scale power ratings. Since 2019, he has actively participated in collaborative research projects, resulting in the publication of 1 patent application and 30 peer-reviewed articles.

Tarek is a medical engineer, a final-year PhD researcher, and an Engineering Teaching Assistant at the School of Engineering. He joined Edinburgh in January 2020, completing a joint MSc in Sensor and Imaging Systems between the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh.
His research project is undertaken in partnership with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and will focus on developing image processing and machine learning techniques for evaluating disease and drug effectiveness in fibre-bundle endomicroscopy systems.
- MSc in Sensor and Imaging Systems. University of Glasgow, Scotland. 2020
- BSc in Medical Engineering. Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Jordan. 2014
Tarek is also an Academic Engagement Coordinator at the Postgraduate Institute for Measurement Science (PGI). He is actively involved in creating several PGI publications and in organising and chairing the seventh annual PGI conference 2023. (For more information email: tarek.haloubi@npl.co.uk)
