Md Delwar Hussain is an electrical engineer and researcher whose work spans power systems, smart grids, electric vehicles, renewable energy, and network infrastructure. He currently works as a Network Support Engineer at Asuitech Solutions Inc., troubleshooting network devices, monitoring uptime, supporting secure deployments, conducting root-cause analysis, and improving documentation and automation. Earlier, he worked in industrial energy systems and conducted research at Lamar University on EV-grid integration and smart charging.

Q: What does your current work as a Network Support Engineer look like?
Hussain: A large part of the job is keeping systems available and finding the reason when they are not. I monitor performance, troubleshoot devices, review configurations, and support LAN, WAN, wireless, and security-related work. I enjoy the point where an outage becomes a problem you can explain.

Q: How does network troubleshooting connect with your electrical engineering background?
Hussain: The technologies are different, but the thinking is similar. In a power system, you follow current, protection, and equipment behavior. In a network, you follow traffic, configuration, and device status. In both, you isolate the problem, test assumptions, and avoid guessing.

Q: What kind of engineering problem interests you most?
Hussain: The difficult ones where the first explanation is wrong. A failure may come from equipment, configuration, loading, maintenance, or several causes together. I like separating symptoms from the real cause.

Q: What did your earlier energy-sector work teach you about failure?
Hussain: At Chevron and in industrial projects, I worked around motors, generators, high-voltage equipment, distribution systems, and critical plant loads. I learned that downtime affects production, safety, cost, and people. That makes you careful about troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.

Q: Why do you emphasize root-cause analysis?
Hussain: A quick reset may restore service, but it does not explain why the problem happened. Root-cause analysis asks what failed, what contributed to it, and what action will prevent it from happening again. That applies to both electrical systems and network outages.

Q: One of your most cited papers studies Gauss-Seidel load-flow analysis. Why does that matter?
Hussain: Load flow helps engineers understand how voltage and power move through a grid. My interest is not only the calculation; it is what the result tells an engineer about voltage quality, losses, and system performance.

Q: Your research also focuses heavily on electric vehicles. What problem are you trying to solve there?
Hussain: At scale, EVs are not only vehicles; they are large electrical loads and potentially storage resources. If charging is uncoordinated, it can increase peaks. Smart charging and vehicle-to-grid strategies can make that demand more manageable.

Q: What did you learn from studying renewable-energy integration?
Hussain: Solar and wind change how the grid operates because their output varies. Storage, forecasting, smart controls, and flexible loads become more important. The problem is not simply adding renewable energy; it is integrating it without weakening reliability.

Q: Where do artificial intelligence and machine learning fit?
Hussain: They can help detect patterns, forecast conditions, and prioritize action. My research includes AI in robotics and predictive analytics for grid resilience. But AI is only as useful as the data behind it. Poor data can produce confident but poor decisions.

Q: Your publications also cover wireless charging and electric-vehicle powertrains. Why look at the vehicle itself?
Hussain: Grid integration works better when you understand the load being connected. Motors, power electronics, batteries, and charging systems all affect efficiency and charging behavior. Looking at both the grid and the vehicle gives a more complete picture.

Q: Is cybersecurity becoming part of power engineering?
Hussain: Absolutely. Modern energy systems depend on communications, automation, and remote control. My current networking work makes that very practical. Reliability now includes secure communication, stable configurations, access control, and fast recovery when something goes wrong.

Q: How important is documentation in problem solving?
Hussain: Extremely important. A network diagram, device configuration, electrical schematic, or maintenance record is part of the engineering system. If documentation is outdated, troubleshooting takes longer and risk increases. Good documentation reduces guesswork.

Q: Your Google Scholar profile shows 153 citations, an h-index of 6, and an i10-index of 4. What does that recognition mean to you?
Hussain: I see citations as evidence that other researchers found something useful enough to build on. I value the numbers, but I care more about whether the work helps answer practical questions in smart grids, EV integration, renewable energy, and intelligent systems.

Q: What problem do you want to work on next?
Hussain: I want to keep connecting electrical engineering with intelligent and secure infrastructure. My long-term direction is advanced EV charging, renewable integration, predictive analytics, and resilient smart distribution systems. I want my research and professional work to produce solutions that are not only publishable, but usable.
