Lasantha Meegahapola received the PhD degree from the Queen's University of Belfast, UK in 2010. He received the BSc. Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering (First Class, Honours) from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka in 2006. Dr Meegahapola is currently employed as an Associate Professor with the Electrical and Biomedical Engineering, School of Engineering, RMIT University, Australia. Dr. Meegahapola was a Visiting Researcher/ Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Electricity Research Centre (ERC), University College Dublin, Ireland (2009-2010). From 2011 to 2014 he was employed as a Lecturer at the University of Wollongong (UOW) and continues as an Honorary Senior Fellow. Dr Meegahapola has more than 15 years' research experience in power system dynamics & stability with renewable power generation, and microgrid dynamics, stability & control. Dr Meegahapola has been involved with seminal research and industry projects, such as technical feasibility analysis of super-capacitors for providing frequency regulation services in wind-farms, and characterisation of combined-cycle gas-turbine lean blowout phenomenon. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles and has supervised 14 PhD students to completion to-date. He is a Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE), a Member of the IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES) and a Member of the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS). Dr. Meegahapola is an active member of the IEEE power and energy society (PES), power system dynamic performance (PSDP) committee task forces on microgrid stability analysis and microgrid dynamic modelling. Dr. Meegahapola is also serving as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Power Engineering Letters, IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications and IET Renewable Power Generation journals.
