Research & Recognition

Research and recognition

The work has been recognized through publications, awards, technical visibility, and teaching. That recognition matters because it came from systems that were already doing real work.

CIGRE inspection work shared with utility peers including Oncor, Eversource, and NYPA

Peer-utility exchange around practical adoption and inspection lessons.

Some invited or member-only sessions do not have stable public URLs, so they are listed here without links instead of pointing to weak or dead references.

Technical visibility

Public references around the work

These are useful because they point back to real systems and public proof, not because press matters more than deployment.

Teaching

Knowledge sharing

I have also contributed through teaching, mentoring, and technical sessions. That matters to me because strong work should be useful beyond the team that built it.

  • Advanced NLP teaching sessions
  • Mentoring 10+ data scientists across enterprise teams
  • Public sharing tied to practical deployment, not abstract research alone
