Biografie

Marjan Popov obtained his Ph.D. degree in electrical power engineering from the Delft University of Technology in 2002. He is a Chevening Alumnus and, in 1997, he was an Academic Visitor with the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, U.K., working in the Arc Research Group on modeling SF6 circuit breakers. His major fields of interest are in intelligent protection for future power systems,  large-scale power system transients,  and wide-area monitoring and protection. In 2010, he received the Dutch Hidde Nijland Prize for extraordinary research achievements. He was the recipient of the IEEE PES Prize Paper Award and IEEE Switchgear Committee Award in 2011. He is also an Associate Editor for Elsevier’s  International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems. In 2017, together with the Dutch utilities TenneT, Alliander, and Stedin, he founded the  Dutch Power System Protection Centre to promote research and education in power system protection.  He is a member of Cigre and an IEEE Fellow.
