The support of my advisers, Dr. Nigamanth Sridhar and Dr. Wenbing Zhao, was second to none.  Knowing that my goal was to obtain a tenure track position in the area, they provided opportunities to fund my research and build my teaching experience. (Recently, I accepted a tenure track position at Baldwin Wallace University where I will be starting in the Fall 2015.)  I was able to teach several courses including Computer Networks and iPhone Application Development.  Additionally, with my research I was able to obtain the equipment I needed and support for presenting my work at international conferences.  When the opportunity came to apply to several universities in the area, their support continued by providing invaluable advice on the interview process and best practices for preparation.

Getting opportunity to obtain a doctor of engineering degree in Power Systems from a college with excellent power faculty has been an honor. I had the best time of my life while working on the research with Dr. Villaseca and also being involved in IEEE student branch activities.  The doctoral degree has proved to be very beneficial for my professional career, as it focused on the ability to do independent research and individual contribution of ideas. Currently, I am employed at Commonwealth Associates, Inc., a U.S. engineering design firm headquartered in Jackson, Michigan.

During my doctoral study, I have developed great interest in obtaining a deeper understanding of the control theory and its applications. I collaborated with Prof. Hanz Richter in the mechanical department at CSU to design a novel active control method that does not require a detailed plant model. I also participated in the collaboration with the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University for a project on particle accelerator control. I was also involved in numerous projects in cooperation with Tsinghua University, North China Electric Power University, Dalian Maritime University, and Tianjin University. I have had two years of close cooperation with the Key Laboratory of Advanced Control of Iron and Steel Process at University of Science and Technology Beijing. Working at Advanced control technologies (CACT) at CSU has helped me to build connections with companies and other institutions for collaborative research.
