Paul Moses, Ph.D., received his doctoral degree in Electrical Power Engineering from Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia, in 2012. His doctoral research focussed on the effects of nonlinear electromagnetic disturbances on three-phase power transformers. He was awarded a Letter of Commendation by the Chancellor of the University for his research.
From 2007 to 2009 and 2012 to 2014, Dr. Moses was employed full-time as an electrical engineer for the Australian Department of Defence. He conducted research and engineering support for combat systems for the Australian Collins Class Submarines at the naval base in Garden Island, Western Australia. Upon finishing his doctoral studies, Dr. Moses accepted a position in the Power and Energy Systems Group in Melbourne, Australia. He worked as a power systems specialist supporting several naval projects for surface ships and submarines. He was a lead engineer for developing one of several high-budget naval power and energy system test facilities. He has also been called upon as a subject matter expert on behalf of the Australian government for leading technical investigations on multi-megawatt electrical plant issues aboard naval vessels.
Dr. Moses transitioned into an academic career in 2014 in the United States to take up a position at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. He developed new courses and research programs in utility and marine power engineering. He also became an Adjunct Professor for George Washington University, teaching graduate level classes in many areas of power systems engineering.
In 2017, Dr. Moses accepted a faculty position at The University of Oklahoma, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, on the Norman, Oklahoma campus. In 2023, he became a tenured Associate Professor. He has led several research projects funded by agencies such as U.S. Department of Defence, Department of Energy, National Science Foundation and OCAST. He also received an NSF CAREER award, a Gerald Tuma Presidential Professorship and Annual Awards for Excellence in Research. He a Senior Member of IEEE. His work has identified novel phenomena and proposed analytical solutions for power grids influenced by nonlinear distortions and inverter-based renewable resources, contributing to deeper theoretical understanding and more precise mathematical models for system prediction.
