Profile
Zachary Minter is currently pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering. He studied for his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Drexel University which he earned in 2019.
His current research interests include the effects of high penetrations of distributed energy resources on power distribution systems, notably with regards to system imbalance, network clustering, distributed slack modeling and allocation, and distribution system planning and control.
Prior to joining CEPE, he worked at Lockheed Martin, focusing on the integration and testing of radar and antenna subsystems.
