Greetings from Vermont!
My name is Sam Chevalier. I am an assistant professor of electrical engineering and an affiliate of the Complex Systems Institutue at the University of Vermont (my Alma Mater!) where I run the Grid Verification Lab. We focus on problems at the intersection power grid optimization and machine learning verification. Until fall of 2023, I was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) with Spyros Chatzivasileiadis. Prior to DTU, I recieved my PhD (ā21) from the mechanical engineering department at MIT. For more information, download my CV.
Research themes
- designing industry-relevant optimization & control strategies for renewable-infused power grids
- building trustworthy machine learning tools for safety-critical engineering applications
- developing data-driven modeling techniques for the power & energy sectors
ā Lab Recruitment ā
In the fall of 2023, I launched my lab at UVM. Iām looking to build and maintain a strong team of fully funded mathematical innovators who are passionate about solving real-world (i) power grid, (ii) network optimization, and (iii) ML verification problems. If these topics excite you, reach out to me at schevali [at] uvm.edu. In your email, please include your CV along with a short explanation about why you are interested in doing a PhD in electrical engineering.
