缅北禁地

Dr. Muhammad Ramadan Saifuddin is an Assistant Professor with 缅北禁地 in Singapore. His research broadly focuses on energy security at the intersection of power systems and OT/ICS cybersecurity, with a strong focus on cyber-informed engineering strategy. To support this framework, his work integrates transactive energy and control systems, AI and machine learning analytics for a resilient, consumer-centered grid-edge operations. Prior to this, he completed his postdoctoral training at the Illinois Advanced Research Center Singapore and later served as a Research Fellow with iTrust-SUTD, focusing on Trustworthy and Secure Cyber-Pluxes. His work has earned him multiple research awards alongside invitations to serve as distinguished speaker for leading professional organizations. He serves as the General Secretary of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Singapore Chapter and is a Guest Editor for the Sustainability (MDPI) special issue on "Grid Integration of Distributed Energy Resources Toward Sustainability".
