Graduate Student Research Assistant (GSRA)

University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dept. of ECE · Dearborn, MI, USA

• Conducting doctoral research at the intersection of power-system reliability and artificial intelligence along two complementary directions: AI for the grid, LLMs and reinforcement learning as operational decision-makers, and the grid for AI, integrating large-scale, uncertain AI data-center loads into distribution and transmission networks.
• Grid Integration of AI Data-Center Loads: hosting-capacity and reliability frameworks for large, uncertain AI data-center demand, with grid-aware load coordination and energy-storage strategies.
• LLMs as Power-System Decision-Makers: fine-tuned and multi-agent LLMs for surrogate scheduling, economic dispatch, decentralized Volt/VAR control, and reliability-oriented clustering of DER-rich active distribution networks.
• Reliability Assessment under High IBR Penetration: stochastic, probabilistic frameworks for reliability and resource-adequacy metrics on grids dominated by inverter-based resources.
• Strategic and economic modeling of storage and carbon policy: Stackelberg–Bayesian and deep-reinforcement-learning models for second-life battery investment and EV charging under AI-driven load growth and carbon regulation.
