Nuh Erdogan

Role

Dr Nuh Erdogan is a Senior Lecturer in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the Department of Engineering at Nottingham Trent University, Course Lead for Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and Lead of the Sustainable Energy Research Group and Integrated Energy Grids Laboratory (GRIDLAB). Nuh is a member of the Imaging, Materials and Engineering Research Centre (IMEC).

He is the module leader for Power Electronics and Systems Engineering (Level 5) and Electric Machines and Electronic Drives (Level 6). He also supervises undergraduate, MSc and PhD research projects.

Career overview

Dr Nuh Erdogan has over 20 years of international research, academic and R&D experience in electrical power engineering. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Université de Picardie Jules Verne, France. He is a Fellow of Advance HE and a Member of the IEEE.

Prior to joining Nottingham Trent University, he held academic and research positions at Robert Gordon University, Marine Renewable Energy Centre of Ireland (MaREI), the University of Texas at Arlington, Atilim University and TOBB University of Economics and Technology, providing significant international research experience across the UK, Ireland, USA and Turkiye. His research addresses the decarbonisation of power systems, with particular emphasis on the grid integration of low-carbon technologies and intelligent, data-driven approaches to power-system planning and operation. Alongside his academic career, Dr Erdogan gained substantial R&D programme and project management experience at TÜBİTAK, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.

Throughout his career, he has led and contributed to collaborative academic and industrial R&D projects supported by Horizon 2020, UKRI, SEAI, NSF and TÜBİTAK, covering transportation electrification, ocean renewable energy, modern distribution networks, and advanced modelling, control and optimisation of electromechanical energy-conversion systems. He is the recipient of competitive international fellowships, including an International PhD Scholarship from the European Science Foundation (ESF) and an International Postdoctoral Fellowship from TÜBİTAK.

External activity

Dr Erdogan actively leads and coordinates national and international research consortia, bringing together academic and external partners and resulting in collaborative research and joint proposals for major funding programmes, including Horizon Europe, EPSRC-SFI and EPSRC-NSF calls.

His national and international research collaborations include colleagues at:

• University of Edinburgh, UK
• North Carolina State University, USA
• University College Cork, Ireland
• JUNIA, France
• Munster Technological University, Ireland
• Strathmore University, Kenya
• Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, Turkiye
• National Defence University, Turkiye

Industrial research and collaboration

Dr Erdogan works with industrial and public-sector partners on applied R&D, knowledge exchange and collaborative research in power and energy systems. His industry-facing research includes transportation electrification and EV charging infrastructure, integration of low-carbon technologies, distribution network modelling and analysis, and real-time and hardware-in-the-loop simulation and testing of electric drives.

He is interested in developing new partnerships with industry through collaborative R&D, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), consultancy and industry–university research projects. He particularly welcomes engagement with distribution network operators and organisations working in renewable energy, transportation electrification, energy storage, electric drives and the digitalisation of energy systems.

Editorial and scholarly activities

Dr Erdogan serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Access and as an Editorial Board Member for Decision Making: Applications in Management and Engineering and the Journal of Decision Science and Applications . He also undertakes peer review for international journals published by IEEE, IET and Elsevier, and contributes to international conferences as a reviewer and session chair.

External academic and professional activities

Dr Erdogan serves as an External Examiner for the University of Hull and contributes to external course validation and quality-assurance activities. He also has experience evaluating research proposals for national R&D funding bodies and contributes to wider professional and engineering outreach activities.
