POTSDAM -- Lei Wu, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in Clarkson University's Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering, was awarded the John W. Graham Jr. Faculty Research Award during the university’s recent commencement ceremony.
The $1,500 research award is presented to "faculty members who have shown promise in engineering, business, liberal arts or scientific research," according to a press release from the university.
Wu joined Clarkson in 2010 and has developed a set of new graduate-level courses, including "power system planning," "operation and control of electric power systems," "market operation of power systems," and "advanced topics in emerging power systems."
His research interests include stochastic modeling and optimization of large-scale power systems, cyber physical systems, high penetration renewable energy applications, demand response and power system reliability and economics.
Wu is a 2013 National Science Foundation CAREER award recipient and the recipient of the 2012 IBM Smarter Planet Faculty Innovation Award for the course he developed on stochastic optimization and coordination control of the future power grid. He also received the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Power and Energy Society Student Prize Paper Award as an advisor in 2014.
Wu has received more than $2 million in grants as principal investigator or co-principal investigator. He has co-authored more than 40 articles in refereed journals, and is an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy and serves as guest editor and reviewer for a number of top U.S. and European power- and energy-related journals. Wu is also a senior member of the IEEE.
He received his bachelor of science degree in electrical and computer engineering and his master of science in systems engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in Shanxi, China. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Before coming to Clarkson, Wu spent two years as a senior research associate in the Robert W. Galvin Center for Electricity Innovation at Illinois Institute of Technology.
