Gab-Su Seo, PhD (he/him/his)

National Renewable Energy Laboratory

Gab-Su Seo (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea, in 2015.
From 2016 to 2017, he was a Research Associate with the Colorado Power Electronics Center, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA. Since 2018, he has been with the Power Systems Engineering Center, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, CO, USA, where he is currently a Senior Electrical Engineer and leads research projects focused on power electronics and power systems applications for electric grids with high integrations of inverter-based resources. He has coauthored more than 100 journal and peer-reviewed conference papers and won one IEEE Transactions Best Paper Award. He has been listed in the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University since 2022. He coauthored the Research Roadmap on Grid-Forming Inverters (NREL, 2020). His current research interests include power electronics for renewable energy systems and microgrids and power systems engineering for grid modernization, including grid-forming inverter control and inverter-driven power system black start for low- or zero-inertia grids to improve grid resilience and stability.
Dr. Seo is an IEEE Roadmap Working Group Chair of the International Technology Roadmap of Power Electronics for Distributed Energy Resources (ITRD)—WG3 Integration and Control of DERs. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, and the IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics. He is currently the Vice Chair of the IEEE Power Electronics Society Technical Committee on Sustainable Energy Systems (IEEE PELS TC5), the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society TC on Smart Grid (Microgrids and DERs), and the IEEE PELS Denver Section.
