Hi and welcome!

I am an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Department of Wind and Energy Systems, where currently heading the section "Energy Markets and Analytics" (EMA) with 15+ research staff. I am also the head of studies for the MSc program "Sustainable Energy Systems" of DTU.

I am interested in data-driven and market-oriented approaches to power system operation and planning, also in coordination with other energy systems (hydrogen, gas, heat, etc). My focus area is the intersection of multiple fields, including optimization, game theory, control, and machine learning for energy applications. I am currently serving as an Associate Editor for INFORMS Operations Research.

Further details are available in my CV.
