High-resolution synthetic residential energy use profiles for the United States
Swapna Thorve, Young Yun Baek, Samarth Swarup +4
Efficient energy consumption is crucial for achieving sustainable energy goals in the era of climate change and grid modernization. Thus, it is vital to understand how energy is co…
Cascading Failures in Power Grids
Rounak Meyur
This paper studies the consequences of a human-initiated targeted attack on the national electric power system. We consider two kinds of attacks: () an attack by an adversary th…
Ensembles of Realistic Power Distribution Networks
Rounak Meyur, Anil Vullikanti, Samarth Swarup +5
The power grid is going through significant changes with the introduction of renewable energy sources and incorporation of smart grid technologies. These rapid advancements necessi…
Simulation-Assisted Optimization for Large-Scale Evacuation Planning with Congestion-Dependent Delays
Kazi Ashik Islam, Da Qi Chen, Madhav Marathe +3
Evacuation planning is a crucial part of disaster management. However, joint optimization of its two essential components, routing and scheduling, with objectives such as minimizin…
Differentially Private Partial Set Cover with Applications to Facility Location
George Z. Li, Dung Nguyen, Anil Vullikanti
It was observed in \citet{gupta2009differentially} that the Set Cover problem has strong impossibility results under differential privacy. In our work, we observe that these hardne…
Controlling Epidemic Spread using Probabilistic Diffusion Models on Networks
Amy Babay, Michael Dinitz, Aravind Srinivasan +2
The spread of an epidemic is often modeled by an SIR random process on a social network graph. The MinINF problem for optimal social distancing involves minimizing the expected num…
A Reliability-aware Distributed Framework to Schedule Residential Charging of Electric Vehicles
Rounak Meyur, Swapna Thorve, Madhav Marathe +3
Residential consumers have become active participants in the power distribution network after being equipped with residential EV charging provisions. This creates a challenge for t…
Deploying Vaccine Distribution Sites for Improved Accessibility and Equity to Support Pandemic Response
George Li, Ann Li, Madhav Marathe +3
In response to COVID-19, many countries have mandated social distancing and banned large group gatherings in order to slow down the spread of SARS-CoV-2. These social interventions…
Differentially Private Community Detection for Stochastic Block Models
Mohamed Seif, Dung Nguyen, Anil Vullikanti +1
The goal of community detection over graphs is to recover underlying labels/attributes of users (e.g., political affiliation) given the connectivity between users (represented by a…
A Markov Decision Process Framework for Efficient and Implementable Contact Tracing and Isolation
George Li, Arash Haddadan, Ann Li +4
Efficient contact tracing and isolation is an effective strategy to control epidemics. It was used effectively during the Ebola epidemic and successfully implemented in several par…
