Rabab Haider

Postdoctoral Fellow
AI4Opt Institute and GeorgiaTech ISyE

Hello! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the NSF Artificial Intelligence Research Institute for Advances in Optimization and GeorgiaTech School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and an incoming Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor.


My research explores the design and operation of energy systems under deep decarbonization. I develop tools in the domains of physics-informed machine learning, distributed intelligence for grid-edge devices, and the design of future electricity markets. 


I was previously a MIT Energy Fellow (2022), MathWorks-MIT Mechanical Engineering Fellow (2021), and received the Hansen Fellowship (2018). In recognition of my research and community contributions to sustainability, I have been awarded the Raj V Tahil Fellowship Fund Award (2021) and Aarav Amar Bajpayee Memorial Prize (2023). 


Multiple PhD positions available -- see more in the "Our Team" tab, and apply to U-Mich CEE.

Haider’s research centers around energy and power systems and their design and operation in a decarbonized future; her work has involved developing tools in physics-informed machine learning, distributing intelligence for grid-edge devices, and designing future electricity markets. When dealing with energy and power systems, Professor Haider emphasizes the human-centric nature of her work and research — an emphasis that closely aligns with Michigan Engineering’s “People First” strategic vision. 

“Energy is an infrastructure system,” Haider explained. “It shares a lot of the properties that we think about when we think of other built infrastructure, like roads, water networks, or city buildings. And when you’re thinking about civil infrastructure, you’re also thinking about the users of that system.”
