Youngjin Kim (powersys@) is currently an associate professor at Pohang University of Science and Technology in the Department of Electrical Engineering. His research fields of interest include distributed generators, smart buildings, and renewable energy resources. 

He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Energy Systems Division at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), where he worked on the projects of self-healing microgrids with Dr. Jianhui Wang from 2015 to 2016. Prior to coming to ANL, he received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), where he worked with Professor James L. Kirtley and Professor Leslie K. Norford as a research assistant in the Research Laboratory of Electronics from 2011 to 2015. His research focused on the modeling and analysis of plug-in electric vehicles and variable speed heat pumps in commercial buildings to provide reliable ancillary services. He also worked as a visiting scholar at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) in 2014 to demonstrate his theoretical analysis and simulation modeling through laboratory-scale microgrid and smart building experiments. During his Ph.D. course, Dr. Kim participated in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Case Competition and won “Most Innovative Proposal” in 2014. 

Before going to MIT, he was a power transmission and distribution system engineer at Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) from 2007 to 2011. He received his B.S. and M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU), where he conducted several projects of optimal control of distributed generators and renewable energy resources.
