Other
I am a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering specializing in optimization-based planning of distribution systems, with a focus on probabilistic planning, system assessment, and optimal integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, I work with ENMAX Power as a Distribution System Planning Engineer, where I apply advanced optimization techniques to real-world power system challenges. My research incorporates high-performance computing and parallelization to efficiently solve large-scale planning problems under uncertainty. In addition, I have teaching experience, delivering courses and practical sessions in engineering topics.
