Summary
Junjian Qi is an endowed associate professor specializing in electric power systems with nine years of academic and national-lab experience focused on cascading failure, resilience, microgrid control, synchrophasors, and cyber-physical security. He has transitioned from postdoctoral and research roles at Argonne and the University of Tennessee to faculty positions at Stevens, UCF, and now South Dakota State University, building a research program that blends theory, simulation, and real-world PMU data. His work on controlling self-organizing dynamics in sandpile models highlights a background in complex systems that informs innovative approaches to grid cascade mitigation. Junjian routinely combines power-system dynamics, state estimation, and security perspectives to tackle resilience challenges across transmission and distribution scales. He holds a PhD from Tsinghua and has a track record of interdisciplinary collaboration, including visiting and joint appointments that bridge academia and national research labs.
