Duane A. Robinson graduated from the University of Wollongong with a B.E. (Hons I) in Electrical Engineering in 1998 after completing a seven-year cadetship with the BHP Port Kembla Steelworks. In the same year, he joined the Integral Energy Power Quality Centre as a research student under scholarship to complete his Ph.D. degree (harmonic distortion within distribution systems and related mitigation techniques). In 2002, he took up a position as a researcher with the Integral Energy Centre working on power quality-related research projects for Integral Energy and other consulting activities, and later joined the University's academic staff as a Senior Lecturer. He temporarily departed the university to pursue more industrial experience, working for a multidisciplinary consulting firm primarily on LV and MV electrical distribution design, control, and protection projects for heavy industry clients. In 2011, he returned to the university to take up a new research interest in the area of energy efficiency and demand-side integration with the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, and to rejoin his colleagues at the Australian Power Quality Research Centre. He was appointed Deputy Director of the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre in 2015, and, more recently, as the Director of the Australian Power Quality Research Centre in 2020.
