Kai Sun

Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, IEEE Fellow

Dr. Sun is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science and also a member of the Center for Ultra-Wide-Area-Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks (CURENT). His current research activities focus on faster-than-real-time power system simulations, understanding, preventing and mitigating cascading failures in power grids, wide-area measurements-based power system analysis and control, and application of artificial intelligence in power systems. Before coming to UT, Dr. Sun was a Project Manager with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in Palo Alto, California from 2007-2012 for the R&D programs in Grid Operations and Planning and Renewable Integration.
