Biography

Anurag K. Srivastava is a Senior Scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) since 2019. He has a joint appointment at PNNL and works as a Raymond J. Lane professor of electric power engineering and Chairperson of the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the West Virginia University. He is also an adjunct professor at the Washington State University. He is director of the Smart Grid Resiliency and Analytics Lab (SG-REAL) at the WVU. In past years, he has worked in different capacity at the Réseau de transport d´électricité in France; RWTH Aachen University in Germany; PEAK RC, Idaho National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Lab, PJM Interconnection, Schweitzer Engineering Lab (SEL), GE Grid Solutions, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Mississippi State University in USA; Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in India; as well as at Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand. His research interest includes data-driven algorithms for power system operation and control including resiliency analysis. Dr. Srivastava high impact research projects resulted in tools installed at the utility control center supported for more than $50M by US Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, Siemens Corporate Research, Electric Power Research Institute, Schweitzer Engineering Lab, Power System Engineering Research Center, Office of Naval Research and several National Labs. He has delivered 30+ keynotes/ tutorials/ IEEE distinguished lecture in more than 15 countries. He is an IEEE Fellow and author of more than 300 technical publications including a book on power system security and 3 patents.
