Staff Profile

Dr Matthew Deakin

Research Associate

Background

I am a Research Associate with the School of Engineering, working in the Supergen Energy Networks Hub. My current research interests are focussed on whole systems modelling of energy networks across network scales (both distribution and transmission) and across energy vectors (gas, electrical and heat systems).

I received the M.Eng and D.Phil (PhD) degrees in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford in 2015 and 2020, resepectively. For the duration of my PhD I held a Clarendon Scholarship.

My main research interests are:

- Smart Local Energy Systems/Smart Grids
- Unbalanced Distribution Network Analysis
- Co-Simulation of Gas and Electricity Systems
- Power System Planning and Operations
- Whole Energy Systems Analysis
