Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShiva Poudel is a Power Systems Research Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University and eight years of experience advancing resilience and security of electric power delivery. Based at PNNL, he develops scalable modeling and restoration frameworks that bridge electrical infrastructure with dependent critical systems, drawing on prior research at WSU, SDSU and internships at EPRI and MERL. His work spans cascading-failure analysis, blackstart optimization, and rapid post-disaster damage assessment—combining rigorous academic methods with practical, computationally efficient solutions for grid restoration. Notably, he has translated thesis-level cyber-physical security insights into applied tools for restoration sequencing and critical-load prioritization, reflecting a blend of theoretical depth and field-oriented impact.
