Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHakan Ergun is an associate professor and power systems researcher based in Leuven with eight years of post-PhD experience in modelling and optimisation of transmission and distribution networks, including AC/DC grid operation and HVDC integration. At KU Leuven he progressed from research assistant to associate professor, leading academic and industrial projects on transmission expansion planning, power system reliability and multi-timescale system planning. He combines deep academic rigour with applied expertise in optimisation methods for offshore grids and security-constrained planning, and frequently bridges theory and practice through collaborations with EnergyVille and industry partners. Notably, his work emphasizes practical modelling of HVDC networks within optimisation frameworks—a niche that underpins modern grid decarbonisation efforts.
