Ts. Ir. Dr. Mohammad Lutfi Othman, PEPC PTech CEng REEM CPMV, received the B.Sc. degree with honor distinction (Magna Cum Laude) in electrical engineering from the University of Arizona (UofA), Tucson, Arizona, USA, in 1990, the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical power engineering from the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Malaysia, in 2004 and 2011 respectively.
Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia. He is a Researcher and the founding member of the Centre for Advanced Power and Energy Research (CAPER) and now renamed as Advanced Lightning, Power and Energy Research (ALPER), UPM. He also practices as an Electrical Engineering Consultant in electrical services installation works by diversifying as an Electrical Director/Partner in a local engineering consulting firm. He has over 29 years of professional experience in design, tendering, contracting and project administration of electrical works consultancies.
Assoc. Prof. Ts. Ir. Dr. Lutfi’s areas of research interest include, among others, power system protection (protective relay operation modelling and analysis, computational-intelligence-based data mining for knowledge discovery in relay database, application of artificial intelligence in protection algorithms, adaptive numerical protective relays, development of numerical protective relays), power system operation (power quality, smart grid, distributed generation), electrical services installation works (design and project administration consultancy) and energy efficiency management (demand side management, building energy management system). He is an advocate of Rough Set Theory applications in electrical power system researches. Due to his rich involvement in building services installation works, his researches also involve building energy management studies. He has developed protection related software such as Power System Protection (PSP, a power system protection interactive multimedia simulator and expert system software) and Protective Relay Analysis sYstem (PRAY, a distance protective relay performance analysis expert system). He has developed a copyrighted algorithm of Power Swing Blocking in Distance Protective Relay as an improvement to that available in the commercially renowned power system transient analysis tool, PSCAD. He is a principal author of numerous manuscripts of high impact factor journals such as IEEE Transaction on Power Delivery, International Journals of Electrical Power and Energy Systems (Elsevier), Applied Soft Computing (Elsevier), Simulation: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International, other SCOPUS indexed journals and conference proceedings. He is a Technical Editor for journals of Asian Network for Scientific Information, a Reviewer of various manuscripts submitted for journal and conference proceeding publications and a Technical Evaluator of university research grant applications. He has been a Keynote Speaker and Session Chair of international IEEE conferences.
He is a Professional Engineer with Practicing Certification (PEPC) registered under the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE), a Chartered Engineer (CEng) registered under the Engineering Council UK, a Professional Technologist (PTech) registered under the Malaysian Board of Technologists, a Registered Electrical Energy Manager (REEM) under Energy Commission Malaysia, a Certified Professional in Measurement and Verification (CPMV) under Malaysian Green Technology Corporation (under KETHHA), a Corporate Member of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) USA, a Senior Member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society (IEEE-PES), a Senior Member of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE-CIS), a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) UK, a member of the International Rough Set Society (IRSS), a member of the Asian Council of Science Editors (ACSE), a member of the AcademicKeys Who's Who in Engineering Higher Education (WWEHE), a member of the International Rough Set Society (IRSS), a Graduate Technologist under the Malaysia Board of Technologist (MBOT) and a member of Phi Kappa Phi () Honor Society, The University of Arizona. His biographical profile is mentioned in the Marquis Who's Who in the World 2016 (33rd Edition). As a Professional Engineer, he is a Mentor and Professional Interviewer for IEM/BEM Professional Engineer as well as the Engineering Council UK Chartered Engineer aspirants.
