Kishore Ragul Alagarsamy is pursuing his M.S. in Computer Science at Utah State University (expected May 2026). He is a former researcher in the Grajdura Research Group, where he contributed to projects at the intersection of transportation systems, hazard response, and large-scale data analytics. In addition to his transportation research, Kishore has worked as a Data Engineer at the Utah Water Research Laboratory, where he developed end-to-end ETL pipelines, implemented data validation frameworks using Great Expectations, and integrated geospatial datasets for environmental applications. His technical interests include AI-driven analytics, scalable data systems, and API development for transportation and environmental decision support.

Angel was a visiting researcher through the NSF ASPIRE Engineering Research Center. He is pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Information Technology at George Mason University. He is particularly interested in the future of charging stations and electrified roadways, and how different systems can be integrated to create sustainable electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. He is interested in Systems of Systems, which explores the broader interaction between EV infrastructure and the power grid. Understanding how policy, economics, and technology intersect to influence EV adoption and grid operations is an area where he is eager to deepen his knowledge. He is building a comprehensive skill set for a career in research and technology development for nonprofits upon graduation. He is eager to bring his technical expertise, research experience, and passion for sustainable innovation to the ASPIRE team.
