Biography
Dr. Barry Hayes is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Power Systems Engineering at UCC. Prior to joining UCC in 2018, he was a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Galway (2016-2018), and a Marie Sklodowska-Curie research fellow at IMDEA Energy in Madrid (2013-2016). He holds a PhD in Electrical Power Systems Engineering from the University of Edinburgh (2013), and has held visiting researcher positions at National Grid UK (2011) and at the University of Tennessee (2016).
Barry leads a research team at UCC focused on the grid integration of sustainable energy technologies, and the operation and planning of future power systems. He is a Funded Investigator in the SFI MaREI Centre and has active research collaborations with the Irish energy industry and with international academic partners.
Barry contributes regularly to public science and technology communication through Ireland’s national broadcaster, RTÉ. He also works with energy communities around Ireland, providing technical advice on the development and grid connection of community-owned renewable energy projects.
