Dr. Asgarpoor is the Associate Chair and an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering. From 1985 to 1986 he worked as a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University. In 1986, he joined Network Management Technology Inc., Houston, Texas (formerly Ferranti International Controls Corp.) as a Senior Engineer where he designed and developed advanced power system applications software for energy management systems. Since September of 1989, he has been with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research involves mathematical modeling, simulation, optimization, and reliability evaluation of electric power and energy systems including Distributed Generation (DG) towards the goal of improved decision making under uncertainty.
