He also holds an honorary position as Distinguished Visiting Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories. Prof. Mitra received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, and a B.Tech.(Hons.) in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He has five years of industry and consulting experience ranging from power system hardware installation to modeling and simulation of energy markets, and over twenty years of academic experience. Prof. Mitra has conducted research in power system modeling, analysis, stability, control, planning and simulation, and is known for his contributions to power system reliability analysis and reliability-based planning. He has over 300 publications and patents in the power systems area; he is co-author of the book, "Electric Power Grid Reliability Evaluation: Models and Methods," and of IEEE Standard 762, a standard on reliability reporting. Prof. Mitra's research has been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. National Laboratories, and several electric utilities.

Prof. Mitra is the recipient of the 2025 IEEE-PES Douglas Staszesky Distribution Automation Award, the 2020 Merit Award from the International Society for Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS), and the 2019 IEEE-PES Roy Billinton Power System Reliability Award. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He serves as a Member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Press. In the past he has served as Chair of the IEEE-PES Fellow Evaluation Committee, Chair of the IEEE-PES Analytic Methods for Power Systems Committee, Chair of several IEEE-PES Subcommittees, and on the Editorial Boards of the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and Power Engineering Letters, the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, and the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications.
