We work for Optimization of Power and Energy Systems leading to a smart data-driven environment. Our goal is to develop optimization and/or control strategies to design and operate future power and energy systems in an efficient, smart, reliable, resilient, and economical manner.
Our research domain includes smart power transmission and distribution systems, efficient integration of renewable distributed energy resources, optimal scheduling of electric vehicle charging infrastructures, applications of power electronics-based compensators, and development of hydrogen energy systems for future surface transportation.
We develop advanced optimization frameworks using linear programming, mixed-integer programming, dynamic programming, and meta-heuristic approaches.
