Biography

Miguel Jimenez Aparicio is a Senior Member of Technical Staff in the Electric Power Systems Research Department at Sandia National Laboratories. His research focuses on fast, signal-based protection for distribution systems under scenarios of high renewable energy penetration. Miguel is also involved on the development of data-driven controllers for hybrid systems for grid-support tasks. His research interests include the reliable integration of distributed energy resources into the grid, and the transition to data driven operation, control and protection of power systems. He received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
