PNNL

Dr. Timothy Salsbury joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2020, where he applies optimization and control theory to a broad range of challenges in electrical and mechanical systems. His work at PNNL has spanned topics from modeling viral fate and transport in buildings to co-optimizing power electronic-based generation, transmission, and distribution systems.

Dr. Salsbury is nationally and internationally recognized for advancing control theory, methods, and algorithms. His research has been applied to diverse systems, including power grids, chemical plants, refrigeration systems, and other demand-side energy applications. He holds 50 U.S. patents and has authored more than 75 publications in leading journals and conference proceedings. He is a senior member of IEEE. His pioneering contributions span three primary areas (1) Device-level control: Algorithms with low computational and storage overhead, typically operating at high frequencies; (2) System-level control and optimization: Architectures leveraging greater computational resources for slower, large-scale decision-making; and (3) Analytics and fault detection/diagnostics: Techniques for extracting actionable insights from data—both in real-time and offline.

Prior to joining PNNL, Dr. Salsbury held research leadership roles in corporate research and development at Johnson Controls (a Fortune 100 company), scientific appointments at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Finland’s Technical Research Centre. He has a proven ability to translate fundamental research into practical impact and continues to do so at PNNL in support of sponsors, such as the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense.
