Eduardo Alejandro Martínez Ceseña

Senior Lecturer

Alejandro (Alex) is a Senior Lecturer in Multi-energy Systems in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Manchester, UK. He received the BEng degree from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (Mexico) in 2004, the MSc degree from Instituto Tecnológico de Morelia (Mexico) in 2008, and the PhD degree from the University of Manchester in 2012, all in electrical engineering, with the focus on power systems.

Alex has led and participated in several UK and international research projects, including FutureDAMS (GCRF), MY-STORE (EPSRC), Smart Street (LCNF), Forward Resilience Measures (NIA), WELLNESS (SIF), ADDRESS (FP6), DIMMER (FP7) and ATTEST (H2020); specifically, in work streams related to the integration of smart and flexible network solutions, economic and financial assessment, and business models for the development of cost-effective, low-carbon and resilience energy systems.

Currently (2025), he teaches power system analysis (Bachelor’s course), as well as power system operation and economics (MSc course), smart grids (MSc course) and power systems planning and resilience (MSc course). He has over 75 publications in high-impact conferences and journals, including the IEEE Transactions and Nature journals.

Research interests

Alex’s research interests include power systems economics, planning and design of generation systems based on renewable energies, distribution network reinforcement planning in the light of demand response, storage and other smart solutions, multi-energy system analysis, optimisation techniques, energy system resilience, and Real Options theory, among others.
