Dr. Marti has advanced the state of the art in modelling and simulation of power system transients. His contributions include the JMarti transmission line model and the CDA numerical integration technique. These contributions have been adopted in major power system and power electronics transients simulation software. He has also pioneered the field of real-time online simulation of power systems using readily available personal computer clusters. He is now extending his power systems experience to coordinate in real time the response of multiple critical infrastructure systems during large disaster events with the objective of minimizing loss of lives and property.
