Tamás Borbáth, PhD

Senior Service Engineer at Coreso · Brussels, Belgium

I'm a power systems expert with a PhD from KU Leuven, where my research focused on cross-border transmission grids and resource adequacy in European electricity markets. Before academia, I built digital solutions for transmission system operators in 30+ countries at GE Digital and ENTSO-E. I'm currently based in Brussels, developing coordination services for European TSOs at Coreso.
