Amritanshu (Amrit) Pandey is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Program at the University of Vermont. He also holds an adjunct appointment in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His overarching research goal is to develop electric energy technologies to help combat climate change while modernizing the underlying system. He develops these technologies using circuit theory, nonlinear optimization, machine learning, and numerical methods. In the past, he and his team developed a novel circuit-theoretic simulation and optimization framework for power grids. The project culminated in a new grid analytics tool: Simulation of Unified Grid Analysis and Renewables (SUGAR), which Pearl Street Technologies, Inc. has since commercialized.
Key areas of interest are large-scale grid simulation and optimization, grid cybersecurity, digital twins, electric mobility, and energy equity.
