Adaptive Stochastic Optimization Techniques with Applications

James A. Momoh is a professor at Howard University and the director of the Centre for Energy Systems and Control (CESaC) at Howard University. He is well known for his achievements in engineering education and his extensive research in optimization, power systems, and smart grids/micro grids. He is a distinguished fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Engineering (NAE), and a fellow member of the Nigerian Academy of Science (NAS). He served as program director at the National Science Foundation (NSF) from 2001-2004 and as Electrical and Computer Engineering (EECE) Department chair at Howard University for 11 years. He holds a PhD from Howard University, an MSEE from Carnegie Mellon University, and an MS in systems engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a recipient of numerous awards, including the coveted 1987 NSF Presidential Young Investigator award. Dr. Momoh has published several technical papers and bestselling textbooks on power systems, optimization, and smart grids.

"The book serves as a pioneering work for addressing many of the computational challenges, speci cally, the power system optimization problems with adaptive dynamic stochastic and predictive characteristics." - I. M. Stancu-Minasian (Bucure□sti)
