Biography

Owen Farish (SM'79) received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, U.K., in 1962 and 1965, respectively.
After three years as a CEGB Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, U.K., he joined Westinghouse Electric, Pittsburgh, PA, as a Senior Research Engineer. In 1972, he returned to the University of Strathclyde, where he has been Professor of electrical power engineering since 1982. He was Head of the Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department from 1990 to 1993, Dean of the Engineering Faculty from 1993 to 1997, and Deputy Principal responsible for external affairs and development from 1997 to 2001. In 1990, he founded the Centre for Electrical Power Engineering (CEPE), which works closely with U.K. utilities and manufacturers in providing research and development and professional development support. His personal research interests are in the field of HV engineering, dielectric materials, and diagnostic monitoring systems in HV plants, and he is the author of more than 150 papers in these fields.
Dr. Farish has served as Chairman of the Science, Education, and Technology Division of the IEE and as U.K. Member of CIGRE SC33. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the Royal Academy of Engineering.
