Jianhua (Jessica) Zhang

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering, Clarkson University. I officially joined in since July 2019. I received my M.S. degree in electrical engineering from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (2010), and my Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the North Carolina State University (2016) and 2010. Prior to joining Clarkson, I was a postdoc research scholar at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory from 2016 to 2019. My research interest is mainly focused on smart grid cyber physical systems and grid integration of renewable energy resources. This involves distributed cyber physical algorithms, smart grid communications, cyber and physical co-simulation, and monitoring and control of large-scale renewable energy systems. Please see my CV if you want to know more about me.
