At WSU, he developed training simulators and computational tools that are now widely used to improve the reliability and stability of electric grids and to train operators worldwide. His innovations include advanced computer controls that help prevent blackouts and enhance the performance of power generation and transmission systems. He has also participated in federal investigations into major U.S. power outages, contributing to national energy policy and system reforms.
“When one is recognized for the success of a long and varied career, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the dozens of individuals who helped in making it possible and their caring and belief in me I can cherish all my life,” Bose said.
Beyond research, Bose has served as director of WSU’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and as dean of its College of Engineering and Architecture. In 2005, he was a senior advisor to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and in 2012, advised the U.S. Department of Energy under the Obama administration.
He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and a Foreign Fellow of the Indian and Chinese national academies. His previous honors include IEEE’s Third Millennium Medal and WSU’s Eminent Faculty Award.
“Anjan has done tremendous work over his long career to improve the reliability of the electric power grid, from helping to understand and prevent big outages to training grid operators in best practices,” said Partha Pande, dean of the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture.
Bose earned his B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, M.S from the University of California, Berkeley, and Ph.D. from Iowa State University.
