Md Abul Hasnat
Md Abul Hasnat is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of Wyoming. He previously served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Virginia. He received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of South Florida and a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. His research focuses on developing signal processing techniques to enhance the security, reliability, and resilience of energy systems and other critical infrastructures. He works on smart grids with modern sensing technologies, addressing challenges such as situational awareness under uncertainty, risk-aware decision-making, and multi-resolution sensor data analytics. He also explores heterogeneous data analysis across smart city components and power system cybersecurity.
Graduate Student
Sayeb Mohammad Tadvin
Sayeb Mohammad Tadvin is a Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering at the University of Wyoming. He received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Rhode Island and his B.Sc. from Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology. He has professional experience at Renata Limited in Bangladesh. His research interests include data-driven control and signal processing in smart grids.
One fully funded graduate student will be recruited for the Spring 2026 Semester in the EECS department at the University of Wyoming (UW). Ideal candidate should have:
B.S./M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field,
A strong foundation in Signal Processing, Mathematics, and Statistics with fundamental knowledge of Power Systems,
Good programming skills (MATLAB and/or Python).
The student is expected to participate in research on statistical signal processing and machine learning techniques for the security, reliability, and resilience of power systems and other critical infrastructures. Research topics would include but not be limited to smart grid situational awareness under uncertainty, risk-aware decision-making in power systems during extreme events, multi-fidelity and multi-resolution sensor data analytics in smart grids, cybersecurity in energy systems, and heterogeneous data analyses from various components of smart cities. Details of the research plans and projects will be found here.
Interested candidates are requested to email mhasnat@uwyo.edu to express their interest in the position attaching their CVs, transcripts, and publications (if any)/writing samples.
