About

Welcome! I am Mohamad Fares El Hajj Chehade, a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, where I am advised by Dr. Hao Zhu. My research focuses on Risk-aware Transfer in Reinforcement Learning and Physics-aware Supervised Learning, with applications in power and energy systems.

I hold a B.Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in Mathematics from the American University of Beirut (AUB), where I worked with Dr. Rabih Jabr and Dr. Sami Karaki. In addition, I have interned at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I worked with Dr. Wenting Li, Dr. Brian Bell, and Dr. Russell Bent.

Outside academia, I enjoy playing and watching sports like soccer, basketball and Formula 1, and I'm an avid participant in related games like Fantasy Premier League and FIFA.
