Hi and welcome!

I am an Associate Professor with the Center for Electric Power and Energy (CEE), Department of Electrical Engineering (DTU Elektro), Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

My focus area is the intersection of multiple fields, including power and energy systems, optimization, game theory, and machine learning. In particular, I am interested in research works related to electricity markets, uncertainty and risk management, data-driven optimization for operational and planning problems. Further details are available in my CV.
