Dilan Senaratne

Dilan Senaratne is a Lecturer in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University, part of the College of Engineering. He joined the faculty in 2023 after completing his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in Artificial Intelligence at the same institution (2023), following an M.S. (2020) and B.Sc. (Honors, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, 2015).

His teaching portfolio includes courses on electrical fundamentals, power system analysis, protection, and smart grid technologies (ENGR 201, ECE 433/533, ECE 536, ECE 437/537). His research focuses on power system resilience, PMU data analysis, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and AI-driven solutions for energy infrastructure. He has authored publications addressing parameter correction algorithms, fault detection systems, and PMU-based event classification.

Notable technical contributions include spatio-temporal analysis of PMU data for unsupervised event detection (2021) and sparse regression techniques for power network parameterization (2019). His early work included foundational contributions to 40Gbps Ethernet PCS implementation (2015). No awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials.

His research interests bridge electrical engineering fundamentals with modern analytical techniques, emphasizing grid stability, protection systems, and smart grid innovation. Current academic activities include advancing hardware-software co-design methods for power system testing environments.
