Ly Phung

Ly is a software engineering student with a love for problem solving. She is passionate about coding her way to new and innovative solutions and, alongside the bright minds at GridQube, she looks forward to pushing the limits of what technology can do.

Fred Geth – Principal Power System Engineer

Fred is a researcher passionate about power systems, with long-standing research interests in helping distribution grids deal with low-carbon technologies such as electric vehicles and battery storage, through physics-based optimisation models.  

He believes improving distribution network operations and planning is a crucial step in effectively decarbonising the energy system, and that network data cleaning, state estimation, and system identification engines are critical enabling technologies. 

Fred has consistently demonstrated that the better these engines exploit the physics – the more useful, explainable, reliable, and scalable they are – and wants to continue proving this in the real world with the talented team at GridQube.

Jordan Clark – Power Systems Engineer

Meet Jordan, a recent Electrical Engineering graduate with a passion for Mathematics and Software. When he’s not automating code and modelling Distribution Networks, you can find him hitting the gym for a powerlifting session or out for a ride on his motorbike.
