Salman Mohagheghi

Salman Mohagheghi serves as Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at Colorado School of Mines, holding a PhD from Georgia Institute of Technology (2006). Previously, he developed advanced distribution automation systems as Senior R&D Engineer at ABB Corporate Research Center.

His educational credentials include:

• BS in Power Electrical Engineering, University of Tehran (1999)
• MS in Power Electrical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology (2001)
• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology (2006)

Dr. Mohagheghi's research centers on mathematical modeling for power grid optimization and resilience enhancement at the intersection of energy systems, environmental sustainability, and social equity. His work spans power system operation, renewable integration, energy justice frameworks, and machine learning applications, with particular emphasis on community vulnerability during grid disruptions and climate adaptation strategies.

Analysis of his 2013-2023 publications reveals evolving research trajectories: early work focused on technical grid challenges (voltage control, power flow), while recent studies increasingly incorporate social dimensions (energy justice, public health emergencies) alongside renewable integration challenges. This demonstrates a strategic shift toward holistic grid resilience addressing both engineering and societal dimensions.

He actively teaches eight courses including Power System Operation and Management (EENG 581), Modern Control Design (EENG 417), and specialized topics in power quality and risk management, mentoring students through his research group focused on grid optimization and resilience modeling.
