My research interests lie at the intersection of operations research, economics and power system engineering. I employ data-driven models and propose solution methodologies and tools to build economically efficient, environmentally friendly and resilient energy systems. In summary, through my research I answer the following questions:
- What type of mathematical approaches and heuristics should be used to solve hard, large scale, non-convex, nonlinear and sometimes integer optimization problems in power systems?
- How should the short-term operational models be formulated to optimize the power system variables, such as generation, reserve and control variables in the presence of supply and demand uncertainties, while maximizing affordability, reliability and resiliency of the system?
- How to collect and analyze data related to consumers’ behaviour and generation capacities to forecast future trends and prescribe efficient policy mechanisms to promote clean and affordable energy?
- What type of policy instruments should be deployed to encourage economical and efficient business models, in order to engender desired outcomes to balance energy supply and demand in the long run, while considering environmental obligations and short-term operational constraints?
