Yacine Chakhchoukh

Dr. Yacine Chakhchoukh is Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Idaho. He teaches energy systems, power systems analysis, and cybersecurity courses, including sustainable energy and resilient infrastructure control.

Research focuses on cybersecurity for critical power infrastructure, particularly smart grid state estimation under cyber threats. Specializations include Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) integration, false data injection detection, and resilient estimation methods. His work combines statistical robustness with power system dynamics.

Publications develop algorithms for attack detection in smart grids, outlier diagnosis in PMU networks, and decomposition methods for resilient estimation. Methodologies integrate machine learning, robust statistics, and dynamic system modeling.

Industry experience includes research with French Electrical Transmission System Operator (RTE). International collaborations span Japan (Tokyo Tech), Germany (TU Darmstadt), and Arizona State University.
