Here is my CV.

Research Interests

My research focuses on a range of areas, including power/energy management, voltage/var control, system resilience enhancement, transportation electrification at scale, and the applications of advanced optimization and machine learning techniques in power system operation and control. My group at The University of Alabama invites applications for two fully funded Ph.D. positions for the upcoming academic year, starting either in Fall 2023 or Spring/Fall 2024. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Qianzhi Zhang in the one of the following areas:

• Modeling, simulation, and control of power systems and microgrids with renewable energy generations and inverter-based resources
• Resilience enhancement of inverter-dominated power systems
• Power system planning and operation with end-use electrification at scale, including building and transportation electrifications.

Openings

My group is looking for self-motivated PhD applicants. Contact me if you are interested! Here is job posting.
