Ali Siddique started his research in the RPG lab in August 2019. He was a Control System Engineer at CenterPoint Energy when he started the master’s degree program. He mainly worked on risk-based microgrid energy management. He graduated in May 2022.
He received the Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston in 2015. He has worked at National Instruments, CenterPoint Energy, and most recently ChargePoint.
The title of his thesis is “Microgrid Optimal Scheduling and Risk Analysis”.
Ali Siddique is the first (MS) student who graduated with a (MS) thesis in our group - the RPG Lab!
