Personal profile
Research interests
My main research focus lies in a complex-systems approach to energy systems applications. I focus on how physics and mathematics can help us improve our understanding of renewable energies, power-grid stability, energy markets, and microgrids. Using tools from network sciences or graph theory, dynamical and stochastic processes, and numerical methods, to, hopefully, aid us in living in a more sustainable world.
In my research, I try to aim for a balance of applied physics and data sciences. The topics that interest me lie at the intersection of complex systems and, with these, I hope to answer how to ensure the stability of a power system, how to understand electricity price dynamics, and the impact of renewable energy on these. I am also involved in projects working with paleo-climate data analysis and applications in large-language models.
