Xia MIAO (苗昰)

Hey, welcome to my site! I work in the field of nonlinear control and artificial intelligence with applications in energy systems.

I recently graduated from MIT. During my Ph.D., I had a great time working with Prof. Marija Ilic on a bunch of challenging problems toward autonomous electrical energy systems (AEESs). My research interests lie in the intersection of control, optimization and mathematical modeling of dynamical interconnected energy systems.
