Biography

Dr. Omer Usta received his BEng and MSc in Electrical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in 1984 and 1988 respectively, and received his PhD in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from the University of Bath in 1993. He re-joined ITU in 1993 where he is presently a Professor of Power System Protection & Automation.  He has been responsible for developing and running highly successful courses on Smart Grid such as Computer Networks for Power Systems, Power System Control and Communications, Power Transmission Systems, Power Generation, and Computer Relaying for Power Systems.

Dr. Usta’s research interests include computer and communications applied to Smart Grid metering, protection, control and operation. He has published numerous conference and journal papers. He is currently an investigator and primary consultant on a number of research projects, including Design of Intelligent Electronic Devices, Remote Reading& Monitoring Systems, and Computer Networks for Power Systems funded by TUBİTAK, ITU and Turkish Industry.

Dr. Usta was the Head of the Electrical Engineering Department between 2007 and 2010, and the Dean of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Faculty of Istanbul Technical University between 2010 and 2013. He was also the General Chair of IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2014 held in Istanbul. He is currently IEEE PES Turkey Chapter Chair. He is the ABET Coordinator of Electrical Engineering Program which was fully accredited by the ABET in 2011. He is married and has two sons.
