BIOGRAPHY

Keshav Dahal is a reader in the Department of Computing at the University of Bradford. He is a founding member of Modelling, Optimisation, Scheduling And Intelligent Control (MOSAIC) research group. Prior to joining the University of Bradford he was was with the Institute for Energy and Environment at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. He also worked as a lecturer at the Institute of Engineering, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Keshav obtained his PhD and MSc degrees from the University of Strathclyde. He also holds a masters degree in Electric Power Systems from Byelorussian Polytechnic Institute.

Keshav's research interests lie in the areas of evolutionary computation, scheduling and optimisation, power system modelling, electricity market modelling, discrete event modelliing and simulation, and technical software design and development. He is a Member of the Higher Education Academy (MILT), IEEE, Institute of Engineering and Technology (MIET) and the European Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing (EvoNet). He is also a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
