Expert in Power Grid Stability and Sustainable Electrical Systems
Jose Luis Rueda Torres serves as an Associate Professor at TU Delft's Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy, where he leads the research team on Dynamic Stability of Sustainable Electrical Power Systems within the Intelligent Electrical Power Grids Section. His academic journey includes an Electrical Engineering diploma with cum laude honors from Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Ecuador (2004), and a PhD with outstanding distinction from Universidad Nacional de San Juan, Argentina (2009). After working in Ecuador on industrial control systems and electrical distribution networks (2003-2005), he completed postdoctoral research at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany (2010-2014), before joining TU Delft as Assistant Professor in 2014, earning tenure in 2017 and promotion to Associate Professor in 2018. His expertise spans physics-driven analysis of HVDC-HVAC systems, large-scale modeling, and probabilistic assessment of system reliability. He holds several prestigious positions, including chairperson of the IEEE PES Working Group on Modern Heuristic Optimization, associate editor of the Swarm and Evolutionary Computation Journal, and secretary of multiple IEEE and CIGRE working groups. As a senior member of IEEE and member of CIGRE, he continues to advance research in power system stability and smart grid technologies.
