vol.19 Interviews with IEEE PES President-Elect Candidates

This is a special episode presented in English. I had the honor and pleasure of speaking with three distinguished guests: Edvina Uzunovic, Bikash Pal, and Claudio Cañizares. They are running for the 2026/2027 IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) President-Elect.

The goal of this episode is to introduce the candidates to our audience—to share their journeys with IEEE, their vision for the future of the Power & Energy Society, and to help you get to know them better as individuals, not just as names and photos in a biography.

I personally invite you to participate in IEEE events. If you are an IEEE PES member (including graduate student member), you can cast your vote at ieee-pes.org before Oct. 1st, 2025.
