Rate My Professor Curtis Boodoo

Dr. Curtis Boodoo serves as Assistant Professor in the Utilities and Sustainable Engineering Unit at the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT). He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics with a specialization in Fluid Mechanics from the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, in 2013, along with an M.Sc. in Mathematics in 2007 and a B.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2004, both from the same institution. With over 16 years of academic experience at UTT, Boodoo began his career as a Lecturer, advanced to Program Leader for the Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2008, and was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2013. He currently holds the positions of Discipline Leader for the Diploma in Renewable Energy Engineering Technology and Coordinator for Renewable Energy Engineering Technology programs. Previously, he worked as an engineer at the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission and holds Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Boodoo's research interests span fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, micropolar fluid flows in porous media, and renewable energy technologies, including electric vehicles, solar PV systems, vehicle-to-grid integration, offshore wind, and sustainable energy solutions tailored to Small Island Developing States. His scholarship is evidenced by 25 publications and 106 citations on Google Scholar. Key works include 'Navigating the Electric Vehicle Transition: Incentives, Adoption Patterns, and Fiscal Outcomes in Grenada’s Vehicle Market' (2026), 'Minute-Level Power-Quality, Machine-Learning Forecasts and Techno-Economic Assessment of a 100 kWp PV-Battery-EV Fast-Charging Microgrid in a Caribbean Small Island State' (2026), 'Assessing Jamaica’s Transportation Sector: Sustainable Mobility Policy, Import-Value Concentration, and Electric Vehicle Uptake' (2026), 'Optimizing Grid Performance in Trinidad and Tobago: The Role of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology' (2024), 'The True Cost of Off-Grid Solar Power: Evaluating Solar Energy in a Dense Tropical Forest' (2024), and 'Micropolar Fluid Flows Past a Porous Shell: A Model for Drug Delivery Using Porous Microspheres' (2024). Boodoo exerts considerable influence in sustainable energy policy, serving as Chairman of the CARICOM Electric Mobility Working Group and advising organizations such as UNDP, UNEP, GIZ, and IDB. He has presented on electric mobility in the Caribbean to UNEP and contributed to forums on clean energy transitions.
