Profile: Meet Professor Gerald Sheblé
When it comes to energy systems, Professor Sheblé focuses on what's critical: energy market design, competitive information, expansion, renewable resources, and sustainable development.
 Gerald B. Sheblé, Ph.D., Maseeh Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Gerald B. Sheblé, Ph.D. is the first Maseeh Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In January 2006 he moved to Portland State from Iowa State University (Ames) where he chaired the Electric & Power Energy System Program. Professor Sheblé is building an Energy Systems Information Laboratory (ESIL) to examine questions raised in a November 2006 New York Times article, “Flaws Seen in Markets for Utilities.” His research interests are in the field of energy systems, information flow and analysis, auction markets, and financial engineering. The ESIL will open January 2007 for teaching, research, and extension services. The lab will enable the dynamic simulation or emulation of markets in the electric energy, natural gas, hydro networks, and other energy commodities including security and renewable energy sources. He holds a B.S. and an M.S. in electrical engineering from Purdue University, a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and an M.B.A. from the University of Iowa. He has authored publications on capital budgeting and contract valuation methods, power network planning, risk assessment under various degrees of uncertainty, economic implications of the U.S. power market evolution, and structures and formulations for electric power auctions. Professor Sheblé was elected an IEEE Fellow in 1996 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers “for contributions to the development of Auction Methods as an alternative to power system optimization methods addressing the de-regulation of the electric utility business.”He also is a member of the IEEE-USA Energy Policy Committee, an Honorary Faculty member of the University of Porto (Portugal) and an Erskine Fellow with the University of Canterbury (New Zealand).
