Henry Huang, a power grid researcher at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), has been
elected to the rank of fellow at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for his contributions to dynamic analysis and high performance computing in power systems.

Huang is a chief engineer in PNNL’s electricity infrastructure and buildings division. He leads a group focused on optimizing the performance of energy systems.

He has authored over 140 peer-reviewed publications. His research focuses on stability and control of electrical power systems, high-performance computing applications in energy and power grid data analytics.

Huang earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Huazhong University in Wuhan, China, and earned a doctorate of philosophy from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. In 2009, Huang received the IEEE Power and Energy Society Outstanding Young Engineer Award.

This year’s fellow class will be recognized at the July IEEE general meeting in Chicago.

IEEE has more than 420,000 members internationally, making it the world’s largest technical professional society. Fellows are elected for outstanding accomplishments in IEEE fields of interest such as engineering and computing. No more than one-tenth of one percent of institute’s total membership may be elected to the rank of fellow each year.
