3.C Educational Contributions
Developed graduate level curriculum for the electric power systems at M.I.T., EECS
Department.
Developed three graduate courses in EECS, M.I.T. in the area of electric power systems.
One
jointly listed with TPP. Significant contributions to theses supervision in the area of
electric
power systems at M.I.T. over the past 15 years.
Served as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer.
Taught a new subject under course #18-879 at Carnegie Mellon University, Special Topics
in
Systems and Control: Large-Scale Dynamic Systems Revisited. This course is to become a
permanent ECE course, #18-777 in the Fall of 2004.
Co-authored paper entitled, Introducing Electric Power into a Multidisciplinary
Curriculum for
Network Industries, to be published in the IEEE Tran. On Power Systems, Special Issue on
Education, May 2004. The relevance of this paper is that it defines a vision for the CMU
INI/Master Program in this subject area. Preparations are underway to start this Program
in
the Fall of 2005.
Committee work: Undergraduate Advising Committee (ECE), Graduate Committee (EPP), Ad Hoc
Promotion Committee, at Carnegie Mellon University (2003-2004).

2009 (http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~electricityconference/
Developed four new ECE courses at Carnegie Mellon University in the area of future
electric
energy systems. One course co-listed across Engineering and Public Policy (EPP), Tepper
School of Business (TSB), and the College of Engineering Carnegie Institute of
Technology (CIT).
Formed Electric Energy Systems Group (EESG) at Carnegie Mellon
http://www.eesg.ece.cmu.edu.
Led the design of the Interactive Power System Simulator (IPSYS) at Carnegie Mellon. This
software has become an integral part of electric power systems education and research,
http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~nsf-education/software.html.
