Academic and Teaching Staff

Dr. Qin Wang received his BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2006, MEng (Distinction) in Electrical Engineering from South China University of Technology in 2009, and PhD (Distinction) in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University, USA in 2013.

Following the completion of his PhD, Dr. Wang has accumulated over a decade of professional experience, working with renowned companies and research laboratories in the United States. From 2012 to 2015, he worked as an engineer at the dispatch center of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, which operates one of the world's largest real-time energy markets. From 2015 to 2017, he worked as a researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Department of Energy. During the period spanning from 2017 to 2022, he held a position as a technical leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). In this capacity, he actively engaged in collaborative efforts with researchers, engineers, government officials, and experts from both academia and industry to pushed the boundaries of innovation. From February to June 2023, he started to lead part of the V2X platform and virtual power plant development work at General Motors. In June 2023, he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Dr Wang serves as Secretary of the IEEE PES Reliability, Risk, and Probability Applications (RRPA) Subcommittee. He is an Associate Editor for IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER SYSTEMS, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ENERGY MARKETS, POLICY AND REGULATION, Journal of Energy Engineering and IET Energy Conversion and Economics.

Dr. Wang is currently in the process of recruiting multiple postdoctoral fellows, research associates, and Ph.D. students for the Autonomous, Intelligent and Integrated Energy Systems (AIIES) Lab. The research focus of Dr. Wang encompasses various areas, including but not limited to the following:

• Integrated Energy Systems and Energy Internet
• Power System Operation, Control and Optimization
