Jianzhong (Simon) Mo is the CTO Technology and Development and is responsible for design, architecture and development of EPG applications. He is an expert in advanced visualization technologies and interfaces with stakeholders on requirements, technologies, and development. Since 2002, he has been involving in architect, design, and implementation of Real-time Dynamics Monitoring System (RTDMS) which is now in third generation and expanding from real-time monitoring and visualization to synchrophasor based EMS by integrating Linear State Estimator and One-line diagram. He architected and implemented a high performance data concentrator (ePDC) which can handle hundreds of input PMU/PDC streams and tens of output streams in a single instance. He designed the relational database Phasor Archiver for synchrophasor data which is very fast to write and very efficient on disk usage without compression. He also serves as the head of development team. He manages the development process through Agile methodology and tools for issue tracking, source control, code review, automated build, and continuous integration. In addition, he actively involved/involves in research projects for DoE, ISOs and Utilities about data validation, data conditioning, state estimation, system simulation & training, and advanced visualization. Recently he is working on highly available highly scalable Cloud solution for synchrophasor applications & analytics to accommodate ever expending PMU network. He is also working on system extendibility across multi-platform multi-language through established standards such as ICCP and other simple to use protocols based on latest software technologies. He joined EPG in 2002. Before that he was a senior software engineer at a startup company working on 2D/3D graphic imaging for mobile devices. Prior to that, he was a post-doctoral researcher at University of Wisconsin Madison working on Virtual Reality and CAD/CAM. He resides in Los Angeles area.
