Aditya Sundararajan, an R&D associate staff member in the Grid Systems Architecture group at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elevated to senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE.
Senior member status, the highest level of IEEE membership, is achieved only by engineers who have made an extensive contribution to their profession over at least a decade. Only 10% of IEEE's more than 450,000 members achieve this level.
Sundararajan's research focuses on applied machine learning, privacy-preserving data analytics, and emerging data strategies to address challenges in microgrids and distribution grid intelligence, with over 50 publications in journals and conference proceedings. Sundararajan serves as the secretary of the East Tennessee Joint Chapter of the IEEE Power Electronics Society/Power & Energy Society. In 2021, he received the IEEE Power and Energy Society Chapter Outstanding Volunteer Award.
Sundararajan earned a master's degree in computer engineering and doctorate in electrical and computer engineering, both from the Florida International University, Miami, where he won numerous student awards and fellowships before joining ORNL almost five years ago.
UT-Battelle manages ORNL for the Department of Energy's Office of Science, the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States. The Office of Science is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, please visit energy.gov/science.
