Before joining North Carolina State University as an Associate Professor in 2009, Dr. Jiang was an Assistant Professor at the University of Miami, where he led a group of researchers and graduate students who worked on various problems towards a sustainable energy infrastructure. The goal of his research is to explore new ways to develop a smart electric grid of the future that would replace the nation's current aging, vulnerable, and inefficient system. One of the current research focuses is to explore new approaches to integrate environmentally clean, distributed energy resources into existing electric power distribution systems via smart microgrids by employing advanced sensing, communications, computing, control, power electronics and intelligent technologies.

Dr. Jiang is a Technical Committee Program Chair for the IEEE PES Energy Development and Power Generation Committee. He serves on the editorial board of Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory. He has been a reviewer for a wide range of journals including 11 IEEE Transactions/Journals, 4 IET Proceedings, and 7 other journals. He has also organized or chaired several conference sessions and served as a Technical Program Committee member for over 25 conferences. He is a recipient of the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award, and an invited participant of the 2008 U.S. "Frontiers of Engineering" Symposium organized by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He is a Senior Member of IEEE.
