Keshav named Cisco Chair in Smart Grid

Professor Srinivasan Keshav of the Cheriton School of Computer Science has been named the Cisco Chair in Smart Grid. Cisco is providing $1 million over the next five years to establish the chair, which will focus on research in the full integration of information science and technology concepts for power grid in order to enhance the security, reliability and effective performance of key components, such as storage and renewable resources. This research will help define the next generation electricity grid, or ‘future grid’, developing concepts, techniques and technologies to drive collaboration, productivity and efficiency in the energy sector in Canada.
