Dr. Mohammad Reza Khalghani joined Florida Polytechnic University as an assistant professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering in August 2019. His research interests are in the areas of smart grid, cyber-security, renewable energy, control theories and application, and electric vehicle integration. In his Ph.D. program at West Virginia University, he mainly focused on designing resilient control of microgrids against cyber disruption and renewable energy intermittency, designing artificial intelligence techniques, and stochastic modeling of power systems. He serves as a reviewer for high-impact ISI journals such as IEEE Transaction on Vehicular Technology, Journal of Applied Energy, International Journal of Power and Energy Systems, Journal of Neural Computing and Applications, Journal Sustainable Cities and Society, Optimal Control, Applications and Methods, and International Journal of Hydrogen Energy.
