First prize in the student research competition at the SAC 2026 conference
Chandana Priya Nivarthi was awarded first prize in the Student Research Competition (SRC) at the ACM SAC 2026 conference(https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2026/) for her research paper "Zero-shot anomaly detection for photovoltaic inverter fleets using self-supervised contrastive learning".
Her work addresses critical renewable energy reliability challenges by using self-supervised machine learning to detect faults without the need for labeled historical data. This research is part of the LongLife research project at the University of Kassel, which focuses on the "Cost-efficient reliability of PV power plants and inverter technology".
