Researcher specializing in converter-dominated power systems, microgrid controls, power electronics, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) experimentation and validation. He received the B.S. degree in Electronic Engineering from Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia, in 2017, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, Mayagüez, in 2020 and 2023, respectively. He was an ORISE Postdoctoral Fellow with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, where he worked on electric vehicle charging infrastructure, grid impact analysis, and resiliency studies for remote communities. He also served as a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Sustainable Energy Center (SEC) at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, focusing on converter-dominated systems, aggregated inverter-based generation, and HIL validation. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, USA, where his research focuses on grid-interactive controls, real-time simulation, and advanced modeling of power-electronic-dominated systems. His broader interests include renewable energy integration, distributed energy resource modeling, and grid-edge coordination, with a strong emphasis on improving stability, robustness, and resilience in modern power systems. Passionate about mentoring students, fostering diversity in STEM, and driving collaborative research that advances sustainable and reliable energy
