Overview

Jianzhong Wu holds the position of Professor of Multi-Vector Energy Systems and is Head of School of Engineering at Cardiff University. Additionally, he serves as a co-Editor-in-Chief of Applied Energy, a prestigious journal with an Impact Factor of 11.2 and a CiteScore of 21.1. The journal also receives over 5 million downloads per year, as evidenced on its website at https://www.journals.elsevier.com/applied-energy.

He is:

  • Co-Director of the UK Energy Research Centre;
  • Co-Director of the EPSRC Supergen Energy Networks Impact Hub;
  • Member of the UK Government Taxonomy Energy Working Group;
  • Member of the Northern Powergrid Science and Technology Advisory Panel;
  • Member of the Scottish Power Energy Networks Independent Net Zero Advisory Council;
  • Member of the Scottish Power Energy Networks Strategic Stakeholder Panel for England and Wales; and
  • Member of the Wales Smart Energy System Group.

In June 2008, he joined Cardiff University as a Lecturer and was subsequently promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2013, Reader in 2014, and Professor in 2015. Prior to his appointment at Cardiff, he served as a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester from 2006 to 2008.

Prof. Wu specialises in the fields of Smart Grid and Multi-Vector Energy Systems, which encompass integrated energy infrastructures. He is recognised as one of the pioneering researchers who initiated and established the research areas of multi-energy systems and Peer-to-Peer energy trading, which have emerged as two crucial areas of energy research worldwide. He has contributed to more than 60 European Commission, the UK research and innovation councils, and industry funded projects as either a Principal Investigator or a Co-Investigator. His research has resulted in over 300 peer-reviewed publications, including 10 Clarivate ESI Highly Cited Papers. Additionally, he has co-authored several books, including “Smart Grid: Technology and Applications” (2012, Wiley), “Smart Electricity Distribution Networks” (2017, CRC) and "The Future of Gas Networks" (2019, Springer).

He is President of the UK Branch of China Electrotechnical Society, Associate Editor-in-Chief of CSEE Journal of Power & Energy Systems, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of IET Energy Systems Integration, Director of the International UNiLAB on Synergies between Energy Networks, and member-at-large of the IEEE Technical Committee on Carbon Neutrality, which further demonstrate his commitment to advancing research and promoting collaborations in sustainable energy and achieving Net Zero.

Prof Wu is a member of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero Taxonomy Energy Working Group, which provides expert advice to the Government on the development of technical screening criteria (TSC) in the energy sector. He was also invited as a Witness to participate in the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee inquiry into the role of hydrogen in achieving Net Zero. Additionally, he has served as a member of the Northern Powergrid technical panel of ED2 business plan.

He is a Fellow of IEEE, the Energy Institute, and the Learned Society of Wales.
