Paul Stewart

I am Director of PESRI, The Power and Energy Systems Research Institute, which is based in the School of Engineering at the University of Lincoln, and engages with funding bodies, government, industry and the public on issues of making our energy supply sustainable and secure, low-carbon and low-emission, in parallel with addressing affordability and fuel poverty.

Prior to Lincoln University, I spent 16 years at the University of Sheffield in various capacities, in the Electrical Machines and Drives Research Group, of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and have also held posts in the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centres for Control Systems, and Advanced Electrical Machines.

I conduct research in the fields of control theory applications, electromechanical motion control, power systems, multi-objective optimisation and intelligent systems.

Before pursuing an academic career, I worked for 14-years in the automotive industry, latterly specialising in drivetrain development and tuning.
