About Me
I hold a PhD in Power Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology (2020). I was a Power Engineering and Utilities Industry Manager at MathWorks, with past roles including Staff Power Electronics Engineer at Lunar Energy. I also did a postdoc at Illinois Institute of Technology, focusing on SYNDEM microgrid control. My thesis involved advanced control algorithms for grid-forming inverters, and I have several years of prior industry experience in Electrical Engineering.
