Tushar Kanti Roy

Dr Tushar Kanti Roy is a Lecturer in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EGI) in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University, Australia. He has developed a strong international research profile in electrical power systems, renewable energy integration, advanced control systems, hybrid microgrids, hydrogen energy systems, and techno-economic optimisation of future energy networks. Before joining Flinders University, Dr Roy held research and academic appointments at Macquarie University and Deakin University in Australia, where he contributed to externally funded and industry-engaged research in renewable-integrated power systems, bushfire-resilient electricity networks, low-inertia grid stability, and digital twin technologies for renewable microgrids. He also held academic positions at Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Bangladesh. 

His recent funding achievements include the Australian Government funded project A Quantum Computing-Based Demonstrator for Remote Community Energy Systems (AUD 1.45 million), together with separately secured internal Macquarie University grants around AUD 200 K including the Lab-Scale Digital Twin for Renewable Microgrids initiative.

He supervises higher degree research students, teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in electrical power engineering, renewable energy systems, control systems, and power system analysis, and contributes to curriculum development, laboratory education, and student mentoring. His current research interests include resilient low-carbon power systems, energy management systems, vehicle-to-grid technologies, renewable hydrogen systems, advanced converter control, and modeling and control of future electricity networks. He is particularly interested in practical solutions for remote communities, grid-edge systems, and high-renewable power systems.
