Jean Mahseredjian

Jean Mahseredjian is a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. He holds the NSERC/Hydro-Québec/RTE/EDF/OPAL-RT Industrial Research Chair in Multiscale Time Simulation of Transients in Large-Scale Electrical Networks and is a member of the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO). His research bridges electrical engineering, numerical methods, and renewable energy integration.

Research interests include:

• Advanced numerical simulation of power system transients
• Modeling and validation of wind farms and HVDC systems
• Electromagnetic compatibility and circuit theory
• Real-time simulation and parallel computing for large-scale grids

His recent publications (2025-2026) demonstrate strong emphases on:

• EMTP simulation advancements for circuit breakers, cables, and converters
• Renewable integration challenges (wind/PV parks and battery systems)
• High-performance computing methods for power system analysis

Awards and honors:

• IEEE Fellow (2013) for contributions to power system transients simulation

Supervision and collaboration:

• Mentored 68 graduate students (31 PhD, 37 Master's)
• Leads industry-funded research with Hydro-Québec, RTE, EDF, and OPAL-RT
• Develops open-source simulation tools (e.g., Julia-based platforms)
