Welcome!
Manish Kumar Singh
I am an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to this, I did my postdoc in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Univ. of Minnesota (UMN), working with Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis and Prof. Sairaj Dhople. I obtained my PhD in June 2021, advised by Prof. Vassilis Kekatos from the Bradley Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech. My research focuses on learning, optimization, and control for energy networks, centered on power systems, and extending to natural gas and water systems.
I am looking for enthusiastic graduate students to join my group; help spread the word :)
