Prof. George C Verghese

Verghese is generally interested in large dynamic networks such as power grids, addressing problems in modeling, system identification signal processing, control and computation. Recent work has centered on developing and studying abstract models of event propagation in large networks, such as the events that occur during cascading failure. Our work has led to advances in frequency-selective dynamic modeling, stability analysis and control, particularly in power electronics and power systems. Several underlying issues from our work are relevant to computational and systems biology.
