Hadis Karimipour is the director of Smart Grid Lab in the School of Engineering, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. She received a Ph.D. degree in Energy System from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of Alberta in Feb. 2016. Before joining the University of Guelph, she was a postdoctoral fellow in University of Calgary working on cybersecurity of the smart power grids. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering, Engineering Systems and Computing Group, at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Her research interests include large-scale power system state estimation, cyber-physical modeling, cyber-security of the smart grids, and parallel and distributed computing. She is a member of IEEE and IEEE Computer Society. She serves as the Chair of the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) and Chapter Chair of IEEE Information Theory in the Kitchener-Waterloo section.
Pirathayini Srikantha is currently an Assistant Professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University. She obtained her Ph.D. degree from The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto in 2017. She is a certified Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario. Her main research interests are in the areas of large-scale optimization and distributed control for enabling adaptive, sustainable and resilient power grid operations. Her work has been published in premier smart grid journal and conference venues. Her research efforts have received recognitions that include the best paper award (IEEE Smart Grid Communications) and runner-up best poster award (ACM Women in Computing). She is also actively involved in professional and social activities. She has served as the Workshop Chair, Session Chair and Technical Program Committee member in IEEE conferences. She is a reviewer in numerous IEEE transactions journals.
