Baligen Talihati
I'm a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
advised by Professors Hao Huang.
My previous research focused on applying AI and machine learning to model community energy systems and promote the adoption of shared energy storage.
In the future, I aim to develop AI-based models that enhance the resilience of smart grids under cyberattacks, with a focus on ensuring uninterrupted
power supply to critical users. My work lies at the intersection of computer vision, deep learning, and network data science, tackling key challenges
in the evolution of intelligent power systems.
