Milos Cvetkovic
Milos Cvetkovic is an assistant professor at the Delft University of Technology, in the Electrical Sustainable Energy department. He is a specialist in the modeling and simulation of energy systems with a particular focus on electricity grids. His research spans short-term modeling and simulation for control and operation of energy systems to long-term decision-making models for planning purposes.
Before joining Delft University, Milos was a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, USA, where he developed new market mechanisms for engaging prosumers in the electricity ecosystem. He obtained his Ph.D. and MSc degrees from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. Milos is active in several Dutch national and European projects which have focus on integrating more renewable energy into our electricity grids. Some of these projects develop smart controllers for renewable energy resources, others design new market mechanisms.
Gautham Ram Chandra Mouli
Dr.ir. Gautham Ram is an Assistant professor of electric mobility in the DC systems, Energy Conversion and Storage group in the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. His current research focuses on electric vehicles, EV charging, PV systems, power electronics, and demand-side management.
He received his bachelor’s and master’s in Electrical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Trichy, India in 2011 and the Delft University of Technology in 2013, respectively. He received his Ph.D. from Delft University in 2018 for the development of a solar-powered V2G electric vehicle charger compatible with CHAdeMO, CCS/COMBO, and designed smart charging algorithms (with PRE Power Developers, ABB, and UT Austin). From 2017 to 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft working on research topics related to power converters for EV charging, smart charging of EVs, and trolley busses.
He is involved in many projects with industrial and academic partners at the national and EU levels concerning electric mobility and renewable energy such as PV charging of electric vehicles, OSCD, Trolley 2.0, and Flexgrid. He is the coordinator and a lecturer for the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Electric cars on edX.org with ~175,000 learners from 175 countries. He is the Vice-chair of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Benelux chapter.
Ivo Pothof
Ivo Pothof is a part-time associate professor of Smart Thermal Grids at Delft University of Technology and chair of the TU Delft Thermal Energy Platform (Thermo-X). He identifies system innovations and has initiated multiple strategic R&D projects in the cross-over between water, renewable energy, and smart control of water and energy infrastructure. Ivo Pothof wants to contribute to the development of future-proof district heating grids and their integration into future smart energy systems.
Ivo has a background as an industrial hydrodynamics specialist at Deltares. Joining Deltares in 1997, he became a specialist in fluid transients, optimal control of pipeline systems and air-water pipe flows. His book chapter on Transients in water supply systems is used worldwide as a hydraulic design guideline.
Course Coordinator
Lily Li
Lily Li is a senior project manager coordinating the program Intelligent and Integrated Energy Systems including this course at TU Delft. Graduated with an MBA and an MSc in Chemistry, she has rich experiences in project acquisition, and project coordination, and had worked years for Shell in project management, strategic consulting, strategic planning, and marketing in Asia and Europe prior to joining TU Delft.
“I am excited to contribute to TU Delft’s responsible effort of bringing systematic and frontier knowledge of the digital transformation of the energy system to learners worldwide. In a rapid-changing sector experiencing major changes on the path of transition, successful transformation needs competent people with digitalization insight and knowledge!”
