Jianhua Zhang

Jianhua (Jessica) Zhang’s research goal is to understand the behavior of cyber-physical power and energy systems and to bridge the gap between power systems and data information and communication networks. Distributed optimization and control theory, and data-driven methods are used as our research tools to discover algorithms and applications.  Large-scale cyber-physical co-simulations and real-time Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation is another focus of our lab.  Zhang received her PhD from North Carolina State University. Before joining Clarkson University, she worked at National Renewable Energy Laboratory as a Postdoc Research Fellow.
