Work Experience
- Arizona State University | Tempe, Arizona, United States of America | July 2022 – August 2023 Post- doctoral Researcher (Full-time)
A sensor-enabled wildfire awareness & risk management for electric power infrastructure
Assessment of power systems transient stability during the wildfire. The prospective outcome is to reduce power outages during wildfires using advanced sensing systems and data-driven decision support algorithms.
- Robinson Research Institute| Wellington, New Zealand | October 2020 – May 2022 Research Engineer (Full-time)
Developed a non-contact magnetic sensor-based power system monitoring and fault detection scheme for electricity distribution networks.
Assembled a solar powered standalone data acquisition system prototype at Wellington Electricity Network for data analysis and modelling - prospective output leading to refine and tune the anomaly detection algorithm.
