Lindsay Anderson

University of Guelph (Canada) Environmental Engineering B.Sc.(Eng) 1994

University of Guelph (Canada) Environmental Engineering M.Sc. 1998

Western University (Canada) Applied Mathematics Ph.D. 2004

Professor Anderson’s research interests focus on the application of systems modeling and optimization to energy and the environment. Current projects include mitigation of wind generation uncertainty through the use of other renewable energy sources, the cost of wind energy uncertainty on existing power systems, and the implications of process uncertainties in biofuels production outcomes.

Professor Anderson teaches students computer modeling of realistic problems in biological and environmental engineering. Her teaching approach is hands-on and interactive, using case-based model development. Her current courses are BEE 1510 Introduction to Computer Programming and BEE 4880 Applied Modeling and Simulation for Renewable Energy Systems.
