Profile
Michael Kleinberg received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University in 2004 and 2007, respectively. He is currently a PhD. candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Drexel University studying under Dr. Karen Miu in the Center for Electric Power Engineering. His research interests include distributed system analysis and distribution system optimization.
In addition to technical research, he has actively participated in engineering education research here at Drexel. This work involved designing and assessing the effectiveness of hardware laboratory experiences for outreach education in the field of electric power engineering. The work was aimed at bridging the knowledge gap between power systems engineers and those outside the field while also encouraging interest in the discipline.
Beyond research and teaching at Drexel, Michael is employed at an adjunct faculty member at Widener University in the Electrical Engineering Department. At Widener, Michael has been responsible for course development, lecturing, testing and assessing student performance for 7 courses at the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior levels. These courses include Control Systems I, Power Systems Engineering, Power Engineering, Analysis of Linear Electric Systems Laboratory, Electric Circuits Laboratory, Computer Programming & Engineering Problem Solving, and Engineering Techniques.
