About Fred Choobineh
Dr. Choobineh P. E. is Blackman Distinguished Professor Emeritus. He joined the faculty of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering in 1978, and was a member of the Industrial Engineering faculty before joining the Electrical & Computer Engineering faculty in 2011. He also held a courtesy appointment as a Professor of Management.
His current research interests in systems engineering include transmission planning, smart grid, and simulation output analysis. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the private sector, and he has served as the Principal Investigator or co-Principal Investigator for more than $70M of extramural funding primarily from the NSF. He is a recipient of the Nebraska Legislator Award for Distinguished Teaching in the College of Engineering, and a multiple recipient of the University of Nebraska Parents’ Association Recognition Award for Contributions to Students. He is also a recipient of the Joseph K. Walkup Prominence in Industrial Engineering Award from Iowa State University and a Fellow of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers.
Dr. Choobineh served as the Director of Nebraska Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) for 15 years. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Nebraska and has served the Chair of the State of Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects. He has also served as the President of UNL Faculty Senate.
