Summary

I’m an electrical engineer with nine years of professional experience, including five years focused on power systems analysis and modeling. I develop high-resolution, sector-coupled energy models to support grid planning and evaluate the impact of flexibility measures such as DLR and DSM. My expertise includes quantifying network and storage expansion needs using mathematical optimization, and understanding how the energy transition influences system stability and investment decisions. I enjoy working in collaborative, international teams and am motivated by building tools that turn complexity into clarity for a sustainable energy future.
