PhD Electrical Engineer | AI/ML Specialist in Smart Grids, Renewable Integration & Power System Protection

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified Electrical Engineer with specialized expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Cyber-Physical Power Systems. With over 6 years of research experience, I have led and contributed to several interdisciplinary projects focused on renewable energy integration, EV charging infrastructure, microgrid protection, anomaly detection, and smart grid cybersecurity. My technical strengths include advanced modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink, OPAL-RT, and PSCAD, as well as applying deep learning techniques (LSTM, GRU, autoencoders) for fault detection, forecasting, and cybersecurity. I’ve published extensively in high-impact journals and conferences, and have mentored both Master’s and PhD students on AI-powered solutions for power system stability, optimization, and resilience. Currently, I serve as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Iowa State University, where I work on next-gen energy systems and federated learning-based cybersecurity frameworks for electric vehicles and DERs. I'm open to freelance consulting, technical writing, data analysis, model development, and research collaboration—particularly in the areas of power systems, AI/ML, renewable energy, and smart infrastructure.
