Resume
Ashish P. Agalgaonkar graduated from Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli, Maharashtra, India with a
B. E. (First Class with Distinction) in Electrical Engineering in 1997. He worked as a Maintenance Engineer in
KSB Pumps Limited, Pune for around 2 years (1997 to 1999) after his graduation. He was working on breakdown maintenance
of C. N. C. as well as conventional machines and scheduled preventive maintenance.
In 1999, he joined the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) (State owned power utility) as a
Junior Engineer (Testing). He was responsible for CTPT testing, transformer testing, Static TOD
meter testing as well as for fault finding at various substations. He completed his M.E. (First
Class with Distinction) in Electrical Power Systems from Walchand College of Engineering in year 2001
while working with MSEB.
He joined for Ph. D. at Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay in 2002 with 3 years study leave from MSEB.
After the completion of his Ph. D. pre-synopsis in 2005, he resigned from MSEB and he joined as a Scientist
in Energy Technology Centre, NTPC Ltd, India. NTPC is one of the largest power generating company from India
with more than 25000 MW of installed capacity. Subsequently, he was awarded Doctorate in 2006 for defending his
thesis titled "On Viability and Planning Aspects of Distributed Generation".
He worked with NTPC for around 2 years (2005-2007) on condition monitoring of electrical equipments such as Partial
Discharge (PD) detection and localization in power transformers, generators, etc. He was also involved in technology
identification for establishing a Center of Excellence in power systems.
He joined the School of Engineering, University of Tasmania as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2007 to
work on an ARC linkage project titled "On-line Monitoring and Modelling of Electrical Loads for Improving
Operational Conditions of Power Systems". In February 2008, he joined at School of Electrical, Computer and
Telecommunications Engineering, University of Wollongong as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on the same
ARC project. He is also the part of Integral Energy Power Quality and Reliability Center at University of Wollongong.
