In 2008, Mart Landsberg obtained a doctorate in energy at TalTech. Previously, the new head has been a lecturer in the field of energy and as a supervisor of master's and doctoral theses at TalTech. In addition, he has participated in the defense committee of master's theses.

Landsberg has a long professional experience from Elering, where he was involved in power system management, long-term planning of power networks, asset management and leading large construction projects. Among other things, he has been responsible for the creation of the integrated system manager for electricity and gas networks.

"With my existing knowledge and experience, I would like to contribute to the development of the electricity sector, as one of the most important pillars of Estonian education, research development and economy," said Landsberg.

It is clear that today's electrical systems are expanding and becoming more complex, and energy consumption requires more and more power supply. "Students of the TalTech Electrical Power Engineering and Mechatronics program are a breeding ground for top researchers in their field, they create the premise that we can contribute to Estonian society, start innovative companies and shape energy policy. Thanks to high-level specialists, we can be a partner for companies," said Landsberg.

In his studies, Landsberg's goal is to develop and strengthen professional knowledge in elctrical power engineering and mechatronics, in addition, he considers interdisciplinary engineering knowledge to be very important.

"In cooperation with other departments of the School of Engineering, new approaches can be created, and innovation can be fostered through the combination of different ideas and knowledge," explained Landsberg.
