Description

I'm a Research Scientist and a part-time doctoral student working on Design and Operation of Energy Systems. My current work revolves around Energy System Modelling, particularly using and developing mixed-integer linear programming based Unit Commitment, Economic Dispatch, and Hydro-Thermal Scheduling models. My main research interests lie in Energy System Integration, with a focus on the coupling of power and heat sectors.
