About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan Technological University. Prior to joining Michigan Tech, I received my Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan and my bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering at Boston University. I have also interned at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Research Interests

• Power Systems
• Distributed Energy Resources
• Optimization
• Critical Infrastructure Systems

My research explores optimizing and controlling distributed energy resources in power systems to provide flexibility. Flexibility is important in the transition to sustainable energy systems. I am advancing this work by developing uncertainty-aware optimization frameworks, integrating network resiliency and tractable, distributed algorithms into operational planning, and emphasizing energy justice goals. I am particularly interested in modeling and optimizing the inherent flexibility and uncertainty propagation between power systems and other infrastructure systems, such as drinking water and agricultural systems.

Prospective Graduate Students

I am not currently looking for Ph.D. students to join my research group for the 24-25 academic year. I will update my page when this changes.
