Biography

Dr. Mili is a Professor and Program Director of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Northern Virginia Center of Virginia Tech. He is IEEE Life Fellow for contributions to robust state estimation of electric power systems. He has five years of industrial experience with the Tunisian electric utility, STEG. At STEG, he worked in the planning department from 1976 till 1979 and then at the Test and Meter Laboratory from 1979 till 1981. He was a visiting professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Grenoble Institute of Technology and the École Supérieure d’Électricité in in France, the École Polytechnique de Tunisie, in Tunisia, and did consulting work for Hydro-Quebec and the French Power Transmission company, RTE. He gave seminars and taught short courses at electric utilities in the USA, France, Belgium, Brazil, and Tunisia. His research has focused on power system planning for enhanced resiliency and sustainability, risk management of complex systems to catastrophic failures, robust state estimation and control, non-linear dynamics, bifurcation theory, geomagnetic induced current detection, speech processing, and communications and radar systems. He has published over two hundred technical papers and edited one book on electric market design and planning for electric power systems and a second book on operation and control of electric energy processing systems. He is the co-founder of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures.
