Renewable energy grid integration, Smart grid, Optimization algorithms, Transport and energy integration

Research interests

My research interests are mainly in developing simulation and optimization models of energy systems, especially related to transport and power grid integration. I am interested in the application of advanced simulation and optimization methods and machine learning to problems in the context of the smart grid, renewable energy integration, electrified transportation, and related topics.
