He joined General Electric's Large Power TransformerDepartment as a Senior Development Engineer and was promoted in 1978 toManager of the Advanced Electrical Development Unit. In1981 he joined the Electric Utility Systems Engineering Deparment as Manager of the HVDC Engineering Subsection and in 1985 assumed the position as Manager of the Software services section. In 1989 he joined the faculty of RPI as a professor of Electric Power Engineering. He has published over four dozen papers, several chapters in books, and holds three patents. Research Interests Current research interests include intensive involvement in the modeling of large systems during transient events.
Results have take the form of lumped parameter and finite element models.
The resultant computer programs are routinely used in industrial design activities. Additional work has been focussed on the reduction of the these models without an adverse effect on the computational accuracy. Considerable work has been conducted are of thermal and mechanical deterioration as a result of age and the development of methods and tools to predict the state of the equipment from non-invasive measurement methods. 307-313, May 26, 1977.
