Justino Miguel Rodrigues
Justino Miguel Rodrigues was born in Penafiel (1985) on 9th September 1985. He his Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2010 at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Sustainable Energy Systems in 2022, also at the Faculty of Engineering, the University of Porto, with a thesis titled "Advanced Control Functionalities for Smart-Transformers Integrating Hybrid MicroGrids." His PhD work was awarded the REN prize in 2023 for the best doctoral thesis in the years 2022 and 2023, focusing on the energy sector.
Currently, he is a Contracted Researcher at the Institute of Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC).
He currently holding the position of head of the SmartGrids and Electric Vehicles Laboratory (SGEVL) at INESC TEC.
He has also been invited PhD professor at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto.
He works in the fields of Engineering Sciences and Technologies, with an emphasis on Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Informatics, specifically in Electrical Engineering and Electronics.
He is currently leading the participation of INESC TEC in the H2020 European Project POCITYF.
Is research activity is focused in the topics related to Electric power grids, Electric power distribution, Integration of renewable distributed production, Smart electric power grids, Integration of Electric Vehicles into energy systems.

Associated Centres
Industrial Engineering and Management
The Centre for Industrial Engineering and Management (CEGI) is internationally recognised in the fields of decision science, optimisation, operations management and service engineering. The mission is to support organisations and communities in decision-making by harnessing the power of data to develop robust and sustainable solutions to complex problems. Research at CEGI focuses on real-world challenges like transport planning, supply chain management, healthcare service networks, industrial operations optimisation, disaster response and recovery, and the impact assessment of public policies. By resorting to Artificial Intelligence, data science and mathematical modelling, CEGI aims to understand system behaviours, improve process efficiency, increase organisational resilience, and anticipate the effects of decisions in uncertain contexts. CEGI operates across critical sectors including mobility, healthcare, retail, industry, energy, and services, focusing on digital transition and sustainability. We collaborate with academia, companies, municipal authorities, hospitals, and regulators, transforming scientific knowledge into applied solutions. We believe that evidence-based management is key to tackling the challenges of a constantly changing world.
Power and Energy Systems
INESC TEC’s main actor in the energy field is the Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES), which falls within the Cluster Energy Systems. We at CPES are internationally recognised for our expertise in the integration of renewable energy in power systems, distributed generation, storage, smart grids and areas traditionally associated with the planning and operation of power systems. The high level of expertise developed has allowed our experts at CPES to take on key roles in important EU projects as part of the successive framework programmes that led to notable scientific and technical advances with considerable impact on industry. This has led to contracts for development and consultancy with companies manufacturing equipment and with generation, transmission and distribution companies, regulators, government agencies and investors in Europe, South America, the United States of America and Africa. At CPES, we address the following main research areas: Decision Making, Optimisation and Computational Intelligence, Forecasting, Static and Dynamic analysis of Energy Grids, Reliability, Power Electronics.
