Maria Brucoli is a PhD researcher at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London. She is interested in the protection of power systems and the analysis of faults in cases where distributed generation is integrated within the existing electricity grid.

Hannah Chalmers is an undergraduate student, working within the Energy Technology for Sustainanable Development group, at Imperial College London. Hannah has been exploring carbon capture and storage (CCS) by participating in Imperial College's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme. She is particularly interested in electricity generation in the UK, focusing on the potential for synergy between renewables and CCS in the UK energy mix.

Biswarup Das received the B.E.E. (Hons.) and M. E. degree from Jadavpur University, Calcutta, India in 1989 and 1991, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur, India in 1998 with specialization in Electric Power System. Since 1998 he has been with Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Roorkee, India where he is presently an Assistant Professor. His current research interests are in the area of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), distribution automation, distributed generation and renewable energy sources. His research work at Imperial College, London, involved different possible power electronic converter based schemes for integrating the electric power generated by tidal wave energy generators to the local, on shore distribution grid.
