Jakaria Jakaria is a senior technical leader with 14 years of software and research experience specializing in distributed energy resources (DER), microgrids, and secure communications for modern electric distribution systems. Based in Knoxville, TN, he leads development of a unique DER integration testbed that spans headend-to-edge emulation and hardware-in-the-loop components to evaluate DER, DERMS, and interoperability at utility scale. His background blends deep academic research (PhD-level work in computer science) with hands-on software engineering—from C++ financial systems and cross-platform Python tools to lab-scale testbeds and DER communication protocols. He consistently focuses on security, resiliency, and practical utility needs, having built the first configuration-verification tool for DER inverters and production-grade analysis tools used by utilities across the US. Known for turning complex cyber-physical problems into auditable, testable systems, he brings both teaching experience and long-term R&D leadership to bridge research and operational deployment.
