Timothy L. Skvarenina
received his B.S.E.E. and M.S.E.E. degrees from the Illinois Institute of Technology
in 1969 and 1970, respectively, and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Purdue University
in 1979. In 1970, he entered active duty with the U.S. Air Force, where he served 21 years, retiring
as a lieutenant colonel in 1991. During his Air Force career, he spent 6 years designing, constructing,
and inspecting electric power distribution projects for a variety of facilities. He also was assigned to
the faculty of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) for 3 years, where he taught and
researched conventional power systems and pulsed-power systems, including railguns, high-power
switches, and magnetocumulative generators. Dr. Skvarenina received the Air Force Meritorious
Service Medal for his contributions to the AFIT curriculum in 1984. He also spent 4 years with the
Strategic Defense Initiative Office (SDIO), where he conducted and directed large-scale systems
analysis studies. He received the Department of Defense Superior Service Medal in 1991 for his
contributions to SDIO.
In 1991, Dr. Skvarenina joined the faculty of the School of Technology at Purdue University, where
he currently teaches undergraduate courses in electrical machines and power systems, as well as a
graduate course in facilities engineering. He is a senior member of the IEEE; a member of the
American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), Tau Beta Pi, and Eta Kappa Nu; and a registered
professional engineer in the state of Colorado.
Dr. Skvarenina has been active in both IEEE and ASEE. He has held the offices of secretary, vicechair,
and chair of the Central Indiana chapter of the IEEE Power Engineering Society. At the national
level he is a member of the Power Engineering Society Education Committee. He has also been
active in the IEEE Education Society, serving as an associate editor of the
Transactions on Education
and co-program chair for the 1999 and 2003 Frontiers in Education Conferences. For his activity
and contributions to the Education Society, he received the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000.
Within ASEE, Dr. Skvarenina has been an active member of the Energy Conversion and Conservation
Division, serving in a series of offices including division chair. In 1999, he was elected by the
ASEE membership to the Board of Directors for a 2-year term as Chair, Professional Interest Council
III. In June 2000, he was elected by the Board of Directors as Vice-President for Profession Interest
Councils for the year 2000–2001.
Dr. Skvarenina is the principal author of a textbook,
Electric Power and Controls
, published in
2001. He has authored or co-authored more than 25 papers in the areas of power systems, power
electronics, pulsed-power systems, and engineering education. |
