Profile Summary

  • I am a Ph.D. Student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Washington State University specializing in Power systems, smart grids, and intelligent automation. My work focuses on creating data-driven solutions for energy optimization, grid resilience, and sustainable infrastructure by using tools like reinforcement learning, physics-informed neural networks, advanced Kalman filtering, and time-varying phasor techniques. I have practical experience in IoT, home automation, renewable energy integration, and edge computing, with projects that include smart energy monitoring, digital twins, and resilient control strategies for inverter-based resources. Beyond research, I am passionate about innovation for sustainability, volunteering, and creating solutions that connect cutting-edge technology with real-world impact. My long-term goal is to become a leading researcher in advancing AI-powered modeling, protection, and control of renewable-rich power systems to ensure a secure and sustainable energy future.
