Power Generation and Energy Production: Liquid and Gaseous Fuels/Nuclear
| The PI has a decade of experience and expertise on multidisciplinary research across the boundaries of
different branches of computational science, engineering, and
mathematics. He has a track record of developing high-order
discontinuous finite elements (for wave propagation, plasma physics, etc), inverse problems, massively parallel PDE-constrained optimization algorithms (Gordon Bell Prize finalist in
2012), etc. His main research thrusts are to develop scalable mathematical algorithms and uncertainty quantification methods in order to better understand and accurately predict the behavior of complex systems.
In parallel, the PI and his team has been developing physics-aware machine learning methods, adaptive robust deep neural networks and uncertainty quantification for deep learning methods for expensive forward and inverse problems. |

| Solecular is building a globally distributed AI platform which are bringing to the energy industry. We have pending patents on fast, accurate, computationally efficient time series machine learning. We can help unlock value from the exponential growth in operational data in energy generation, transmission, distribution, and distributed energy resources.
Our value-added features include short and long-term generation forecasts, load simulations, failure simulations, as well as distributed resilience checks. Our forecasting models are being deployed at a top-tier North American telecom company for predictive routing and being evaluated by a distribution grid for EV charging prediction. Optimizing DERs using predictive models can produce much better results than reactive approaches. |

Grid
| Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and its diverse group of member companies coordinate the flow of electricity across 66,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines spanning 14 states. SPP is one of nine independent system operators/regional transmission organizations (ISOs/RTOs). SPP is mandated by FERC to ensure reliable supplies of power, adequate transmission infrastructure and competitive wholesale prices of electricity. SPP’s footprint includes the best solar and wind resources in the U.S. which creates challenges with renewables integration, grid planning and market operations. Wind development in SPP has been facilitated by our transmission expansion and market evolution to accommodate penetration records exceeding 67%. The SPP Generation Interconnection queue has 29.7 GW of grid scale solar PV and 6.9 GW of Battery Energy Storage (BES). It is critical that SPP fully understands the impacts of Grid transformation towards inverter based resource, load, and transmission technology.
Interests:
• Eastern Interconnection and Western Interconnection AC interconnection co-optimized generation and transmission Grid design to enable reliable operations which is adapatable and resilient to meet current and future North American electrification needs.
• Resilence based metrics to enable electrification decision making that includes prosumers, energy producers, state and national governing bodies.
• Multi-Market design to fund enabling technology to extract value from continent wide diversity.
• Multi-State High Voltage Poly-Terminal DC pool for controlled delivery of inverter based energy to Continent EHV AC Grid and markets. |

Power Generation and Energy Production: Liquid and Gaseous Fuels/Nuclear
| I am currently an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the North Carolina State University. I obtained my B.S. degree from University College Utrecht, the international undergraduate honors college of Utrecht University, the Netherlands, my M.S. in Nuclear Science and Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). After my graduation, I held a postdoctoral research scholar position at the B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences from the School of Engineering at UCLA.
Over the past years, I've developed the methodologies needed to design and implement a suite of computer codes in the probabilistic risk, reliability, and resilience assessment fields for nuclear, aerospace, and maritime industries. I was also the associate general chair for the International Conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management (PSAM-14) hosted by UCLA in 2018. I am a member of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Standards Committee ANS-30.1 Working Group under the Research and Advanced Reactors Consensus Committee and a non-voting member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Safety Engineering and Risk Analysis Division (SERAD) Executive Committee.
I lead the design and development of ADS-IDAC, a dynamic probabilistic risk assessment methodology and software platform for nuclear power plants, the Hybrid Causal Logic Analyzer system risk and reliability software used to enhance the design process and assess the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts usage in space systems for extended deep space missions at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the Phoenix human reliability analysis methodology and software for Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (JNRA).
My research focus includes theories, applications, and simulation-based techniques in risk sciences such as traditional and dynamic probabilistic risk assessment, reliability analysis, resilient systems design, probabilistic physics of failure modeling, and Bayesian inference.
The Department of Nuclear Engineering has extensive internal computational capabilities to support modeling and validation, aside from the NCSU world-class computational capabilities. The computer capabilities are set up for secure collaborative research and end-to-end software developments. |
