Biography - Anthony S. Deese received his Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering as well as Doctorate of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University in 2003 and 2008 respectively. And, while Anthony’s graduate education focused on the study of electric power systems (as well as power electronics), his early research encompassed many related areas such as analog emulation of dynamic systems, field-programmable analog array technology, measurement-based load modeling, and state estimation in distribution systems. He has published multiple journal as well as conference works in these areas. Following graduation, Dr. Deese spent two years as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at his alma mater (Drexel) – focused on expanding his publication record. During this time, he also maintained an active teaching schedule as adjunct at Temple and Widener Universities. In the fall of 2010, Dr. Deese joined The College of New Jersey as Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Currently,he teaches an array of courses including differential equations, power system analysis, electronics, and power electronics as well as remains active in the research community.
