Dr. Arif Hussain received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Bahria University, Pakistan (2014), his M.S. in Power Engineering from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan (2019) through a USAID-funded scholarship, and his Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), South Korea (2023) under the prestigious SKKU STEM scholarship. He previously served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University, USA. In September 2025, he joined Louisiana Tech University as an Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering and Science. His research focuses on cyber-physical power systems, with a particular emphasis on electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, distributed energy resource management, microgrid protection and islanding prevention, anomaly and fault detection using AI/ML techniques, and renewable energy forecasting. During his doctoral studies, he developed advanced machine learning and deep learning frameworks for reliability, security, and protection of hybrid AC/DC microgrids. Dr. Hussain has served as a reviewer for leading journals published by IEEE, Elsevier, IET, and MDPI, and has authored several peer-reviewed publications in top-tier international journals and conferences.
