About Me
PhD Candidate
Automatic Control Laboratory
Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering
ETH Zurich
I am a final year PhD student in Florian Dörfler's research group. My current work focuses on developing the foundations of distributionally robust optimization, learning, and control, as well as on deploying novel distributionally robust trading strategies in renewable energy markets. At the beginning of my PhD, I was mainly working on voltage and transient stability assessment of renewable-integrated power systems.
Research Interests
Distributionally Robust Optimization, Stochastic Control, Optimal Transport, High-Dimensional Statistics, Power Systems, Renewable Energy Markets.
