Faculty Biographies

Dr. Arthur M. Breipohl is a Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma.  He has published three books and has numerous refereed and journal publications.  His research interests lie in power system planning emphasizing probabilistic and stochastic models.  Since joining the faculty in 1984, Professor Breipohl has helped build the power program into an internationally recognized program that was honored with the EPRI Award of Excellence from the Electric Power Research Institute in recognition of the program's accomplishments.

He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).  He has served on several IEEE committees and as Chairman on several IEEE Task Force committees: IEEE Task Force on Outage Data Pooling; IEEE Task Force on Transmission Access and NUGs.

He has also served as a panelist on NSF Review Boards and chaired one NSF review panel on ‘Research in Science Education’.  He has served as Session Chairman at several National Reliability Symposiums, a regional ASEE Conference and at a Power Engineering Society National Meeting.  He has also reviewed papers for IEEE Transactions: SMC, AC, REL and PWRS and served as Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Reliability’s Special Issue on “Reliability Optimization: Mathematical Methods and Engineering Techniques”.  A listing of his recent paper publications is located here.
 

Dr. Fred N. Lee  was the OG&E Professor of Electrical Engineering in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma until his retirement January 2008.  He has published  numerous refereed and journal publications.  His research interests lie in electrical power system analysis and planning.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).  He has served as Chairman of the IEEE Power Engineering Society Awards and Recognition Committee and as Chairman of the IEEE Power Engineering Society Working Group on Multiple-Time Scale Scheduling Problems.  Dr. Lee has also served on several IEEE and PES committees.   He has also reviewed papers for IEEE Transactions: SMC, AC, REL and PWRS.

He has been honored with the AMOCO Good Teaching Award (University of Oklahoma), with a Distinguished Associate Lectureship (University of Oklahoma), and as the “Outstanding Professor” (University of Oklahoma Students Association).

Since Dr. Lee joined the University of Oklahoma faculty in 1985, the research program in electrical power has received international recognition.  His most recent paper publications are listed here.

Dr. John N. Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. Before joining the University, Dr. Jiang was a director for Providian Financial Corporation, San Francisco, CA.  As director (2003-2006), Dr. Jiang was responsible for analysis, security pricing, trading strategy and economic research for a $3 billion investment portfolio and corporate asset-liability management.

Previously, he was a consultant on various market design and operation issues at ERCOT (ERCOT operates the power grid and electricity spot market for the State of Texas).  Prior to that, for nearly two years, he worked for the Market Oversight Division of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, on market design and monitoring. He has over three years experience of risk management at power and utility companies. Dr. Jiang also worked in the Renewable Energy Group in alternative energy and power control areas when he was a graduate student at the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.

Professor Jiang received his Ph.D. and Master of Science degrees in Power Economics and Energy Finance (Power Economics and Energy Finance is an interdisciplinary field of Energy Systems, Finance and Economics) from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Texas at Austin in December 2005 and December 1998 respectively.  He also obtained a Master of Engineering degree from the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University, China, both in honors.

Professor Jiang’s research interest is in Energy Risk Management, Market Analysis, Strategic Behavior, Energy System Planning and Operation, Economic and Reliability/Security Analysis of Alternative Energy Systems, Market Design and Monitoring.  His most recent paper publications are listed here.
