About me

I work in ETH Zürich, where I am currently a Principal Investigator (PI) sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation, a Senior Scientist, an NCCR Automation Researcher, and a Guest Lecturer. I am also an Associate Editor for both IEEE Systems Journal (Impact Factor: 4.802) and the IET Renewable Power Generation (Impact Factor: 3.304).

I am passionate about AI-powered power system identification and optimization, aiming for a secure, low-carbon, economic, and autonomous power grid integrated with renewable energy. My work focuses on fundamental and altruistic research, i.e., proposes basic theories and toolboxes to facilitate better scientific exploration within the academic community and bring benefits to the industry as well.
