About
Dr Nishant Kumar is an Associate Professor at IIT Jodhpur. Before joining IIT Jodhpur, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He has completed his PhD from IIT Delhi India, in the Department of Electrical Engineering, where his PhD thesis was awarded ‘the best thesis award’. His PhD thesis also won ‘the 1st Prize in the IEEE IAS (Industry Applications Society) Thesis Contest 2020’. Moreover, during his research, he received the POSOCO Power System Indian National Award in the Doctoral Category and the ISSS PhD Thesis Award 2020 at IISc Bangalore. He completed his M.Tech from NIT Durgapur, where he was awarded the “Gold Medal” for his research work in front of the then-president of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee. In between his M.Tech and PhD degrees, he worked as the Project Engineer and Research Associate at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi. He has completed the bachelor’s degree (B.Tech.) from Silicon Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar India, where he was awarded as the ‘best technical student’. Recently, he has been felicitated by IEEE as ‘IEEE Senior Member’ and by the DST, Govt. of India with the Young Scientist Award for representing India at the BRICS Young Scientist Conclave in 2020 and 2024, which was held in Russia. Additionally, he has received the ‘Outstanding Young Professional Volunteer Award’ by IEEE India Council. He is a Fellow member of ‘The Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers’ (IETE) society and ‘Editor’ in a few IEEE Transactions. He has more than 90 publications, including 40 IEEE Transactions, and 8 Indian and US Patents. His areas of research interests include optimization algorithm development, renewable power generation, microgrid, smart grid, and application of adaptive control and optimization in the power and energy sector.
