Additional Information

Fabian M. Uriarte holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University at College Station in the area of parallel power system simulation, and an MS and BS in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He is currently a power systems and simulation specialist at the Center for Electromechanics (CEM) of The University of Texas at Austin (UT) and is the technical lead for the development of a parallel power system solver in a project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium.

At CEM, Dr. Uriarte focuses on power system, microgrid, and Smart Grid modeling and simulation. He brings these techniques to bear on projects ranging from compute-intense algorithm development and parallelization to modeling and simulation of military and civilian sector power systems. Currently he is leading a research thrust at UT to parallelize electromagnetic simulations for a broad-range of power systems, which leverage multicore computers and the super-computers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. In large measure, his research aims to reduce simulation runtime across a wide-range of simulation environments to increase model realm and reduce the investment in research resources.

Dr. Uriarte is recognized for his expertise in modeling and simulation of Smart Grids at UT. He advises a multi-disciplinary team of UT faculty and students on computer techniques for assessing the impact of emerging technologies in residential communities. He routinely visits with utility companies in Texas and travels throughout the United States and overseas to disseminate his research findings . His research is particularly important in that it contributes to goals set forth by the Departments of Defense and Energy to promote the shift towards emerging technologies on the national grid and in military installations ashore and off shore. This shift imposes larger demands on existing computing resources than before, which makes Dr. Uriarte’s work in this area especially opportune.
