Tune Inverter Control Gains using Reinforcement Learning
The growing complexity of modern power systems and the proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) demand intelligent, adaptive, and autonomous control strategies. Traditional tuning approaches for inverter controllers often rely on linearized models, fixed assumptions, or manual parameter optimization methods that are increasingly inadequate in dynamic, data-rich grid environments. In this talk, a reinforcement learning (RL)-based... Read more
RESTORING A 1917 CURTIS “JENNY” BIPLANE: A MECHANICAL AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING SEMINAR
WITH THE FLYING LEATHERNECKS AVIATION MUSEUM AND UC IRVINE STUDENTS This technical presentation by UCI undergraduate and graduate students will describe the hands-on project of planning, organizing, and constructing a complete and historically accurate replica of the iconic World War I-era Curtis "Jenny" JN-4D aircraft from authentic old parts and student-manufactured new parts. Guest Speakers:... Read more

OC IEEE YP – December Boba Night 2025
Our first and only Boba Night of 2025! Our treasurer Robby has finally finished his PhD from UCI and this will be his last Boba Night in California. Let's send Robby off with some boba, popcorn chicken and fried tofu from Cha from Tea, the OG boba shop where these all started! [] Please register... Read more
IEEE PES “Recorded” Lecture: Challenges and Solutions for Protection in Power Systems with Inverter-based Resources (IBR)
[] The transition to a net-zero energy system requires a massive change in how electricity is produced, transported and used; the power electronic converters are the core of this paradigm-shifting, and the control techniques used on them primarily influence the power system’s dynamic behaviour. It is well documented that the power of electronic converter-based resources... Read more
