Graduate Research Assistant
January 2026 - Present
University of Wyoming, Laramie, USA
I am specializing in power systems engineering and reliability. Currently conducting research to redefine power system frequency metrics by applying Graph Signal Processing (GSP) to grid topologies. Utilizing MATLAB, Simulink, and PowerFactory, PSCAD and other software to model power system dynamics, analyze frequency deviations, and identify vulnerable nodes within IEEE bus systems. Leading the development of a software package designed to simulate real-world AI load behaviors in power systems.
April 2025– December 2025
Work Description:
Extracted and processed GIS-based electrical network data from ArcGIS Pro and converted it into structured Excel databases for system analysis and planning
Developed and modeled electrical distribution networks in ETAP for planning, operation, and performance assessment
Performed load flow studies, short-circuit analysis, and arc flash studies to evaluate network performance, equipment ratings, and system reliability
Conducted protection relay coordination and optimization studies for distribution networks to ensure selective fault isolation and enhanced system protection and extended protection coordination studies to the 132 kV sub-transmission network
Visited 23 distribution substations and studied the configuration, operation, and protection of major substation equipment, including power transformers, circuit breakers, isolators, CTs, PTs, busbars, and protection relays
February 2025– March 2025
Work Description:
Providing required data (feeder lines & poles, power & distribution transformers, sub-stations, switching stations and consumers) from ArcGIS Pro for electrical system design
Designing feeder and substation based electrical distribution network
Analyzing load loss, voltage regulation and relay optimization in distribution network
Generating load flow reports and providing in-depth analysis with prior proposition
November 1, 2023– November 16, 2023
Insights on designing and analyzing electrical distribution systems
Sessions on project planning and documentation for SCADA system, prepaid metering, net metering, and GIS systems
Provided support for meter security measures, anti-tampering initiatives, and the implementation of smart grid ideas • Conducted field inspections, including maintenance of substations
