معرفی
Dr. Charles Kim is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Howard University, where he has served since 1999. He holds a Ph.D. and post-doctoral training in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University. His research focuses on fault detection in power systems, machine learning applications, and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. Notably, he developed Howard's first commercialized patent, the 'Brownout Detector,' which predicts electrical brownouts to enhance grid reliability. His work has led to over 10 U.S. patents and contributions to Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP), fostering student-led interdisciplinary research. Dr. Kim's current research explores cyber-physical security for power substations and autonomous systems.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Texas A&M University (1989)
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Seoul National University (1980)
Research emphasizes applying entropy principles, Bayesian inference, and least-squares error methods to electrical systems. He advocates for experimental pedagogy through initiatives like Mobile Studio and interdisciplinary team-teaching. Collaborations include global VIP programs and industry partnerships for technology transfer.
His awards include VIP Consortium recognition and multiple patents. Dr. Kim mentors students and promotes innovation through Howard’s IP ecosystem, aiming to address societal challenges through engineering solutions.
