Anna Stuhlmacher

Biography

Anna Stuhlmacher is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan Tech. Dr. Stuhlmacher's research explores the optimization of uncertain distributed energy resources (DERs) and the coordination of the power grid with other infrastructure systems and sectors. DERs—such as distributed generation, storage, and flexible loads—can be optimized and controlled to provide flexibility within the electric power grid. She is particularly interested in modeling and optimizing the inherent flexibility and uncertainty propagation between power systems and other infrastructure systems, such as drinking water, wastewater treatment, and agricultural systems.

Prior to joining Michigan Tech, Dr. Stuhlmacher received her Ph.D. and Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan and her bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering at Boston University. During her PhD program, Dr. Stuhlmacher also interned at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
