Theodor Heath

Theodor Heath is a Lecturer in Power and Energy within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Manchester. His research specialism is in VSC-HVDC converters, with additional interests in power electronics, embedded systems, and distributed control systems. Heath is the Faculty Advisor/Academic Lead for the University of Manchester Formula Student Team, overseeing three distinct projects, including an artificial intelligence (machine learning) sensor-based autonomous driving solution. He also serves as the Discipline Assessment Lead for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, managing assessments for over 1000 students across multiple modules. His work contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 7 and SDG 9.

Theodor Heath is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, specializing in power electronics. His research focuses on the design and implementation of advanced power conversion systems, particularly in the context of modular multilevel converters (MMC). Heath's work explores hardware and simulation comparisons, control architectures, and the impact of time delays on the stability of grid-connected MMC-HVDC systems. He also investigates low-cost sensor solutions, such as CO2 sensing using microcontroller-based approaches. His research addresses both theoretical and practical challenges in power electronics, with an emphasis on reliability, efficiency, and real-world applicability.
