EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Graduate Research Student, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS, USA (2005-present)
• Presently working on determining the partition criteria and interface requirements between the system and application
control for power electronic converter systems used in medium-scale power system and industrial applications.
• Worked on modeling and simulations of power electronics in medium-scale power system and industrial applications
(active power filters, STATCOM, Mini-HVDC, and active front/back end for motor drives) based on control functions
temporal requirements.
• Worked on STATCOM controller architecture under different modes of operation (voltage stability, transient stability
enhancement, damping oscillations and Var control) and the controller is successfully implemented using
MATLAB/Simulink.
• Worked on various methods of cascading/paralleling of shunt active compensators for electric shipboard power systems.
• Compared various reference signal generator strategies (d-q synchronous, orthogonal current components (CPC -
theory)) for active power filters in small-scale power system applications.
• Worked extensively with modeling and simulations of the three-phase power electronic converters in d-q synchronous
reference frame under various loading conditions in MATLAB/Simulink and Virtual Test Bed (VTB).
Graduate Research Student, Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, Starkville, MS, USA (2004-2005)
• Developed a novel approach to accurately detect the fundamental frequency of the data signal in the presence of
harmonic and interharmonic interface.
• Helped in developing a data file streaming program in LabVIEW to display the voltage and current harmonic distortion
from the data collected aboard the U.S.S. Healy.
