Dr. Avimanyu Sahoo
Assistant Professor,
ECE
Biography
Dr. Avimanyu Sahoo joins the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department as an Assistant Professor. Prior
to joining the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Dr. Sahoo was an Associate Professor (mechatronics) at
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK. He received a Masters of Technology (MTech) and Ph.D. in Electrical
Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India, and Missouri University of Science
and Technology, Rolla, MO, USA, in 2015.
Dr. Sahoo’s research interest includes learning-based control and its applications in cyber-physical systems,
electric machinery health monitoring, lithium-ion battery pack modeling, diagnostics, and prognostics. Currently,
his research focuses on developing computation and communication efficient distributed intelligent control
schemes for cyber-physical systems using approximate dynamic programming, reinforcement learning, adaptive
state estimation, and intelligent battery management systems (BMS) for lithium-ion battery packs used onboard electric vehicles.
