Research Interests And Grants

Research Interest Overview

The Smart Grid Resiliency and Analytics Lab (SG-REAL) is dedicated to advancing the cybersecurity, resiliency, and operational efficiency of modern power systems. Our primary research goal is to develop, validate, and implement cybersecure and resilient power system operation and control algorithms by leveraging real-time smart grid data and cutting-edge computational techniques.

Our work extends to data-driven approaches that enhance the security, resiliency, and sustainability of power systems, with a focus on transmission networks, microgrids, and active distribution systems.

Additionally, SG-REAL is committed to smart grid education by providing hands-on learning experiences for middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, fostering the next generation of power system engineers and researchers.
