Marcus Wada

Hi! I’m Marcus Wada, a Computer Engineering student at the University of Michigan–Dearborn.
I split my time between power systems & data, controls & embedded systems, and math.

• Power Lab (Research Assistant):
  I work on outage analytics, grid modeling, and resilience research. My projects include building PostGIS pipelines for outage–weather–socioeconomic data, developing GPU-cluster simulators and HPC workflows for control systems, creating synthetic distribution system datasets, and designing interactive web platforms with LLM-assisted analysis to make insights more accessible.
• MASA – Airbrakes Electronics: I lead work on closed-loop airbrake control with data injection detection and hardware-in-the-loop testbeds (STM32/Teensy, IMU + barometer, Kalman filtering).
• Teaching: I’m an SI leader for Calculus, designing worksheets and running problem-solving sessions.

Interests: outage resilience · controls & estimation · aerospace systems · interactive data tools
