KHOI TIEN VU, Ph.D.

Khoi Tien Vu attended the University of Washington (UW), Seattle, WA from 1982 to 1990. He majored in Electrical Engineering (BS '85, MS '87 and PhD '90). During 1990-91, he was a post-doctoral research associate at the same university. His dissertation on the topic of Voltage Instability in Electric Power Systems has since served as the basis of study/special projects for senior-level and graduate students in power engineering at UW. In 1991, Dr. Vu joined Clemson University in South Carolina as a visiting faculty. In late 1993, he joined the Transmission Technology Institute, the R&D arm of Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) in the US, where he is responsible for studying and evaluating emerging technologies for power-system application, and developing protection relays and control strategies to counter instability of large-scale power systems. Dr. Vu authored several articles from Systems&Control Letters, IEEE Trans. on Circuits & Systems, book chapters for the EE Handbook (CRC Press) and for a Springer-Verlag book on Control of Power Systems.
