Area of Interest:
Distribution network optimal power flow, microgrid energy management, power system optimization and resiliency analysis, AI application in power system

As part of the Power System Group at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, I am always looking for interested undergraduate and qualified postgraduate students to start their research career with my research group (AMRIT Research Laboratory) at the Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT (BHU) Varanasi. 

Students with good academic records and related research interests are encouraged to apply for the Ph.D. and Master's degree programs. Once you are admitted to postgraduate programs under IIT (BHU), feel free to drop me an email or stop by my office.

My research works will primarily focus on power system operation and control, distribution network analysis and management, TSO-DSO coordination, microgrids, EV charging station planning and operation, grid resiliency enhancement, application of AI/ML in power systems, etc. A strong mathematical foundation, a solid understanding of power system operations, and coding skills in MATLAB/Python/any other programming language are needed. 

Research-focused undergraduate students from other institutes are encouraged to email their resumes/CVs for possible summer/winter internships.
