Senior🎓
Top SchoolSong Zhang is a power systems and cloud engineering leader with 10+ years of experience blending electric-grid research, cloud-native architecture, and AI/analytics to modernize utility operations. Currently Head of Grid AI & Analytics after leading energy and utility solutions at AWS, he has built cloud Centers of Excellence, architected HPC and serverless grid platforms, and managed O&M budgets while driving cross-functional adoption. A published researcher, IEEE senior member and repeat award winner, Song holds a PhD and co-invented a granted patent, bridging rigorous control theory and pragmatic production systems. He’s as comfortable designing microservice and IaaS/FaaS solutions as prototyping ML and big-data pipelines in PySpark, and is known for translating cutting-edge research into operational grid resiliency and market applications. An unexpected thread through his career is sustained impact across industry and academia—editorial, standards and chapter leadership that accelerate cloud-first grid modernization.
