Rodrigo Andrés Moreno Vieyra holds a degree in Industrial Civil Engineering and a Master of Science in Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and a PhD in Engineering from Imperial College London, where he later worked as a research associate. His academic work focuses on the development of advanced mathematical models applied to electrical systems, aimed at improving the sustainability, resilience, and economic efficiency of energy supply.

His research interests include the reliability and resilience of electrical grids, electricity markets, energy planning, and the integration of new technologies, using advanced optimization and simulation tools to support decision-making in complex systems.

He spent much of his academic career in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Chile, where he conducted research and taught in the field of energy and participated in strategic projects for the sector. His work on grid reliability and resilience was recognized with the Newton Prize awarded by the British government in 2018.

He has over 100 scientific publications in indexed journals and international conferences, and is actively involved in the international academic community as an associate editor of IEEE journals. He currently leads the ENLACE Energy Center for Latin America and the Caribbean, an initiative aimed at promoting research and regional collaboration in the development of more sustainable and resilient energy systems. He is also the head of the energy research line at the Institute for Complex Systems Engineering (ISCI).
