Professor Campbell Booth is a senior academic and administrator at the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Engineering, where he serves as Vice Dean – Research. He is based in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and was previously Head of Department from 2017 to 2021. A long-standing member of the Strathclyde community since 1987, he completed his BEng and PhD at the university and has progressed from research roles to full professorship.
- Doctor of Philosophy, University of Strathclyde (1997)
- Bachelor of Engineering, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde (1991)
His research centers on the protection and control of modern and future power systems, particularly those with high penetrations of renewable energy, energy storage, power converters, and DC links. He focuses on practical implementation through prototyping, real-time simulation, and laboratory testing, often in collaboration with the Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC). Key areas include adaptive protection, superconducting fault current limiters, distributed optical sensing, and multi-terminal HVDC systems. His teaching includes second-year Electronic and Electrical Principles II and advanced power system protection courses at the fourth and fifth year levels, as well as industry short courses and STEM outreach as a STEM Ambassador.
His recent publications reflect a strong trend in applying machine learning and advanced control strategies to power system stability, protection in inverter-dominated grids, and real-time dispatch. These works are highly relevant to the transition toward low-inertia, renewable-rich energy systems.
His scientific recognition includes:
- IET Best Paper Award 2025
- Spectator Magazine Economic Innovator of the Year 2022
- Best Paper Award 2019
- Sustainable Energy Award 2017
- Best Offshore Renewables Innovation 2017
- Best University Technology 2014
He actively supervises research students and is involved in numerous funded projects, including collaborations with Shell and Scottish and Southern Energy. He leads PNDC activities in protection and automation and is engaged in international research initiatives, particularly with China. His professional service includes organizing major symposia and serving as a peer reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
He is also a key contributor to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly through education and low-carbon energy research. His work is supported by extensive external funding and collaboration networks, positioning him as a leading figure in modern power systems research.
