Rate My Professor Gregory Turner

Turner received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2014. His dissertation, "A Formalized Method For State Machine Software Implementation In Smart Microgrid Control Systems," advised by David A. Wetz Jr., addresses challenges in smart microgrid control. It defines smart grids and microgrids, proposes a three-tiered hierarchical control scheme, reviews control theory and formalized software design techniques, details the UTA Microgrid test platform hardware, presents a state machine design method with LabVIEW implementation guidelines, implements and tests a specific use case on the UTA Microgrid, and suggests future work. Prior to graduate studies, Turner earned a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and worked in industry for several years. His publications include the 2014 dissertation and a 2024 co-authored paper titled "Validation of Power System Control Methodologies using a Microgrid Testbed Employing Low and Medium Voltage (MV) AC and DC Sources."
