Marija Ilic
Marija Ilic received her Doctor of Science Degree in Systems
Science and Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, MO in 1980, and all other degrees in Electrical Engineering
at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. She is currently a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, with a joint
appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Engineering and
Public Policy Departments. She is the Director of the Electric Energy Systems
Group, http://www.eesg.ece.cmu.edu/ and has co-authored several books. Most
recently, she co-edited Engineering IT-Enabled Sustainable Electricity Service: The
Tale of Two Low-Cost Green Azores Islands. This book is the first real power system repository of smart grid data, and the data is publicly available. Prof. Ilic
is an IEEE Fellow.
Sheppard Salon
Sheppard Salon received a PhD in Electrical Engineering from
the University of Pittsburgh. From 1970 to 1978 he was with
Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the Large Rotating
Apparatus Division in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He joined
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1978 where he is now
emeritus Professor of Electric Computer and Systems
Engineering. Dr. Salon is a registered professional engineer and a life Fellow
of IEEE. In 2004 Dr. Salon received the IEEE Nikola Tesla award.
Shay Bahramirad
Shay Bahramirad is the Manager of Smart Grid and Technology at ComEd. Her responsibilities include leading the Smart
Grid organization across ComEd; business case development
and performance measures for Smart Grid technology deployments; and defining, developing, and implementing Smart Grid
initiatives such as Microgrid, Data Analytics and Smart Cities
in ComEd’s service territory. She is also an Adjunct Professor at the Illinois
Institute of Technology.
Shay holds multiple advanced degrees, including a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. She is a U.S. representative of
power quality issues of the grid of the future in CIGRE (International Council
of Large Electric Systems), leads the development of the IEEE P1815 Standard:
Smart Distribution Application Guide, and serves as IEEE/PES T&D Committee,
Technical Chair of several IEEE conferences such as T&D and the Great Lake
Symposium. Shay is the committee chair for the PES Women in Power, a Senior
Member of IEEE, and the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid,

PECI Thanks our Industry Supporters
Representatives from Texas Instruments - Pradeep Shenoy and Paul
Nossaman, John Deere - Jim Shoemaker, and Ameren - Tamer Rousan
will give presentations on Friday from 4:45 pm – 6:00 pm with S&C
Electric Company - Xiangyu Ding presenting at 2:30 pm (please see
the schedule for location). These companies are leaders in the Power
and Energy area, and many University of Illinois power group grads have
joined their ranks. We encourage you to take this opportunity to learn
how each one is applying power and energy research.
Vote for the Best Student Paper Award
There will be an award given at the Saturday lunch to the student with
the best overall paper and presentation. Please use your PECI login at
