Welcome!  

Hi! I am an Innovation and Project Manager at StromDAO GmbH where I am responsible for managing R&D projects, and leading consortiums related to citizen-based energy communities, decentralized energy storage and flexible systems, smart grids and open energy management systems. Before that, I was Innovation Manager at OLI Systems GmbH where I was in charge of drawing technology roadmap for OLI ecosystem in local energy & flexibility markets, peer-ro-peer (P2P) energy transactions, smart grids, smart homes, and electric vehicle (EV) charging strategies. From October 2019 to December 2021, I was postdoctoral scientist at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). My approach to make a green and sustainable societies drives me to research in power & energy systems. Thus, my professional activities address application of mathematical optimization & modeling on power systems, and decision making under uncertainty for individual & multi agent systems.  In this way, my research interests include designing business model for local energy & flexibility markets, planning & operation of integrated energy systems, game-based energy trading markets, and application of machine learning algorithms on price & demand forecasting.
