About
Thomas Andritsch received the Dipl.-Ing. Degree in Electrical Engineering from Graz University of Technology in 2006 and his Ph.D. degree in the same field from Delft University of Technology in 2010. He is currently working as an Associate Professor at the University of Southampton with focus on advanced materials for high voltage applications and plant. He has extensive experience with preparation and testing of polymer-based electrical insulation materials, including nanodielectrics, electroactive polymers and syntactic foams, as well as liquid insulation systems and nanofluids. Thomas is currently the chair of the UK & Ireland IEEE DEIS Chapter and is elected member of the IEEE DEIS Administrative Committee since January 2019. From summer 2022 Thomas is the UK Regular Member of the CIGRE Study Committee D1 – Materials and emerging test techniques.
