Experience
Graduate Research Assistant
Florida International University - College Of Engineering & Computing
Aug 2021 — Present · Miami, FL, US
Led the design and deployment of resilient standalone and grid-connected microgrids, integrating solar PV, BESS, and emergency backup units for mission-critical applications (e.g, data centers, healthcare, defense), ensuring uninterrupted operation during grid disturbances.• Validated system reliability under extreme stress conditions by replicating pulsed loads, transient faults, and sudden demand fluctuations on real-time testbeds, providing performance insights directly applicable to utility and industrial microgrid operators.• Developed and implemented real-time adaptive controllers on STM32, dSPACE RTI, and OPAL-RT platforms, which reduced voltage fluctuations by over 30% and improved dynamic stability in rapidly changing load environments.• Engineered high-efficiency AC/DC and DC/DC converters for redundant power supply applications, achieving fault-tolerant operation with >95% efficiency, improving reliability for critical load protection systems.• Designed and fabricated custom PCBs for embedded power electronic control, improving system integration speed and hardware reliability across multi-subsystem testbeds.• Applied AI/ML techniques (RNNs, ANNs, predictive models) for power demand forecasting and predictive energy management, resulting in 20% improvement in energy distribution accuracy and enabling adaptive microgrid resilience under cyber-physical disruptions.• Published and presented research findings in conferences and journals, advancing the scientific community’s understanding of hybrid energy storage control and distributed coordination in microgrids, while strengthening the lab’s visibility in federally funded energy projects (DOE, NSF, ONR).
