Booth, Kristen

Assistant Professor

My research interests include power system and power electronic optimization for grid modernization. I work at the component-level, converter-level, and system-level to understand trade-offs in designs and how they affect other portions of the system. Integrating this knowledge early in the design process improves system reliability. Open to interdisciplinary research with thermal considerations and integrating AI into power electronic controls as well as other opportunities.
