About Me

Baligen Talihati

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I research power grid resilience, cyberattacks, and the integration of AI methods. My work combines computer vision, machine learning, and power system modeling to develop innovative solutions for complex smart grid challenges.

With a background in electrical engineering and electronic science, I build models and tools that support planning and decision-making for power grids under cyber threats and climate-related risks.
