معرفی
Callum MacIver is a Research Fellow in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Engineering. His work focuses on offshore HVDC transmission systems, electricity market design, and the resilience of power systems under climate and regulatory challenges.
His research interests span power systems, renewable energy integration, grid reliability, and energy policy. He investigates technical, economic, and regulatory barriers to deploying offshore transmission networks, particularly in the context of the UK's decarbonization goals.
His recent publications highlight trends in hybrid AC/DC grid planning, market reform for net zero, and resilience to extreme weather. These works reflect a strong interdisciplinary focus on engineering solutions aligned with policy and sustainability objectives.
