Rate My Professor Anamika Dubey

Anamika Dubey is the Huie-Rogers Endowed Chair Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Washington State University, where she has been faculty since 2016, advancing from Assistant Professor to her current role in 2022. She holds a joint appointment as Research Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory since 2022 and co-directs the WSU-PNNL Advanced Grid Institute. Dubey received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015 (dissertation on distributed resource integration in power distribution systems), M.S.E. from the same university in 2012, and B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 2010.

Dubey's research specializes in power systems control and optimization, with emphasis on resilience, integration of distributed energy resources like solar PVs, EVs, and demand response for sustainable grids facing climate challenges. She directs the SCALE Lab, focusing on scalable analytics combining optimization and machine learning for cyber-physical power distribution systems. Her contributions have earned prestigious awards including the IEEE PES Outstanding Young Engineer Award (2023) for optimization and control of distribution systems, NSF CAREER Award (2020-2025), WSU Voiland College Junior Faculty Research Award (2021), Pacesetter Award in Physical Sciences and Engineering (2021), and EECS Early Career Award (2020). Select key publications are "Resilience assessment and planning in power distribution systems: Past and future considerations" (Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2024), "Distribution Grid Optimal Power Flow (D-OPF): Modeling, Analysis, and Benchmarking" (IEEE Trans. Power Systems, 2022), "Risk-based Active Distribution System Planning for Resilience against Extreme Weather Events" (IEEE Trans. Sustainable Energy, 2022), and "Distributed Optimization using Reduced Network Equivalents for Radial Power Distribution Systems" (IEEE Trans. Power Systems, 2021). Dubey has secured over $4 million in DOE funding for resilient grid projects and mentored multiple Ph.D. graduates, influencing grid resilience strategies globally.
