At TLI, he led 7 endowed chairs and 64 associated senior faculty from across ten colleges at the University of Minnesota, executives from industry, and governmental leaders, to develop local and global leaders for technology enterprises. His responsibilities at TLI included direction and oversight of all academic, think-tank, financial and administrative elements of TLI’s educational, research, and consulting programs. In addition, Dr. Amin led the Master of Science in Management of Technology (MOT) program as its Director of Graduate Studies (DGS, during 2003-2011 and 2014-2016). He founded the Master of Science in Security Technologies (MSST) program in 2009 and served as its Director of Graduate Studies during 2009-2013. He founded the Master of Science in Medical Device Innovation (MS-MDI) program in 2013.Prior to joining the UofM in March 2003, Dr. Amin held positions of increased responsibility including the Area Manager of Infrastructure Security, Grid Operations/Planning, Energy Market, and Risk & Policy Assessment, at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in Palo Alto, Calif. He pioneered R&D in smart grids in 1998, and led the development of 24 technologies that transferred to industry. After 9/11, he directed all security-related R&D for U.S. utilities. He has led research, development, and deployment of smart grids, and the enhancement of critical infrastructures’ security during this period. He is considered the father of the smart grid (https://tli.umn.edu/tli-blog/inspiration-behind-smart-grid-series-defining-moments).At EPRI, he received several awards, including six EPRI Performance Recognition Awards for leadership in three areas: the 2002 President’s Award for the Infrastructure Security Initiative, and twice received the Chauncey Award, the Institute’s highest honor.
