Dr Merlinda Andoni

  • Research Associate (Autonomous Systems & Connectivity)

Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Energy and Sustainability Group at the University of Glasgow. My expertise and research aims are focused on the challenges associated with how we achieve a resilient, low-carbon and sustainable energy system. My research has been supporting several research projects, including the EPSRC DecarbonISation PAThways for Cooling and Heating (DISPATCH) project, the ESPRC National Centre for Energy System Integration (CESI) and the InnovateUK ReFLEX project, one of the largest UK demonstrator projects in smart grids. I have published over 25 scientific papers, including one the most cited articles for Elsevier RSER Journal with my work influencing policy circles, including the US congressional research office.

I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (2020) from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK in the fields of Smart Grids and Renewable Energy. During my Ph.D. studies I explored game-theoretical techniques to build models to inform investment decision-making related to the implementation of renewable generation, energy storage and network capacity projects. I also hold an M.Sc. degree from Heriot-Watt University in Renewable Energy and Distributed Generation with Distinction (2015) and an undergraduate degree (equivalent to M.Eng.) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National technical University of Athens, Greece, with a specialisation in Energy.

I have more than 2.5 years professional experience in the Renewable and Energy sector working as an energy consultant. Furthermore, I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) and have extensive teaching experience, such as being a course leader for energy systems and renewable generation courses. I have received several awards for my academic achievements, most notably I was the recipient of the Academic Prize for the Young Professionals Green Energy Award 2018 and I was awarded a special prize for the best student performance in all taught postgraduate degrees within the Engineering & Physical Sciences Department  at Heriot-Watt University during my M.Sc. studies.
