Summary
I have a lot of experience with modeling and simulation of power systems and rotating machines. I have carried out
such tasks for design, diagnostics and control. My doctoral studies involved identifying, determining and
predicting faults in medium to large rotating machines by developing and testing Artificial Intelligence based
algorithms that operate in real time. I seek challenging roles in the power and energy industry and research centers
that would enable me to utilize my skills.
