Dipti Srinivasan

Dipti Srinivasan is an electrical engineer whose research applies AI to smart grids and renewable energy. She worked as a design engineer for the Rajasthan State Electricity Board in Jaipur from 1986 to 1989, earned a master's degree at NUS in 1991 and completed her PhD in 1994, then joined its faculty in 1995 after postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley. She served as visiting faculty at the Indian Institute of Science from 1998 to 1999 and received an Outstanding Engineer award in 2010 and the IEEE PES Wanda Reder Pioneer in Power Award in 2022. In November 2023, she was named co-lead of an NUS–Keppel project planned through 2026; her team's electric-bus optimization framework appeared in 2024. Since January 2024, she is NUS Provost's Chair Professor and director of GEMS; her coauthored SpinalNet paper received the IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence Outstanding Paper Award in 2026.

Timeline

  1. 1986–1994

    From utility work to a PhD

    She works as a design engineer for the Rajasthan State Electricity Board in Jaipur from 1986 to 1989. At NUS, she earns a master's degree in 1991 and completes a PhD in 1994.

  2. 1994–1999

    Berkeley, NUS and IISc

    She conducts postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley from 1994 to 1995, then joins NUS's Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty in June 1995. She serves as visiting faculty in IISc's Electrical and Computer Engineering department from 1998 to 1999.

  3. 2010

    An Outstanding Engineer award

    In 2010, she receives an Outstanding Engineer award.

  4. 2022

    A Wanda Reder award

    In 2022, she receives the IEEE PES Wanda Reder Pioneer in Power Award for her contributions to power engineering, education and volunteerism.

  5. November 2023

    A campus smart-grid project

    In November 2023, she is named co-lead, with Associate Professor Sanjib Kumar Panda, of a NUS–Keppel project planned through 2026. The team plans to use a digital twin alongside sensing and modelling for distributed energy management and a smart AC/DC hybrid microgrid.

  6. 2024

    Optimizing electric-bus fleets

    Her team develops a multi-module optimization framework for electric-bus shuttle fleets, published in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems on 21 August 2024. The study reports up to 38.2 percent lower life-cycle cost and up to 90.2 percent lower battery-degradation cost.

  7. 2026

    A SpinalNet paper award

    Her coauthored paper “SpinalNet: Deep Neural Network with Gradual Input” receives the IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence Outstanding Paper Award, presented at WCCI in June 2026.

  8. Since January 2024

    Provost's Chair Professor

    She is Provost's Chair Professor in NUS's Electrical and Computer Engineering department and founder and director of the Centre for Green Energy Management & Smart Grid. Her research applies AI to renewable-energy forecasting, demand-side management, microgrids and electric mobility.
