Biography

Dr. Miroslav M. Begovic received his B.S. and M.S. degrees, both in Electrical Engineering, from Belgrade University, Yugoslavia. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1989 and joined the faculty of the School of Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech.

His studies focused on analysis, monitoring, and control of voltage stability in electrical power systems. His research is concentrated on real-time monitoring systems for control of power system dynamics, protective relaying, distribution network operation, and distributed resources in energy systems. He was actively involved in the design and construction of the 340 kW photovoltaic system on the roof of the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center, which was the largest roof-mounted PV system in the world at the time of its construction in 1996.

Professor Begovic consults with industry in the areas of wide area protection and distribution system operation. He is an audiophile, music lover, and amateur photographer.
