I am a PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo, co-supervised by Professor
Srinivasan Keshav
(Computer Science) and Professor Catherine Rosenberg
(Electrical and Computer Engineering) at the Information Systems and Science for Energy (ISS4E) lab.
I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo in 2014.
I am interested in Systems, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligance.
My current research focus is on the modelling and optimization of energy storage systems,
with a focus on renewable energy sources and behind-the-meter applications.
As part of my work, I have designed algorithms for operating PV-storage systems,
created a framework for determining how a solar farm operator should split a fixed budget between PV panels and batteries in order to maximize their revenue,
and developed new models for Lithium-ion batteries that can be used at part of an optimization problem (mathematical program) and a model for battery system simulations which is available online as a Matlab system block.
More broadly, I seek to model and develop intelligent algorithms to design and control cyber-physical systems.
My research is has a strong interdisciplinary aspect; I've had the chance to work with academics from power systems, economics, and electrochemistry disciplines.
In my free time, I train and compete internationally as a member of Canada's national beach volleyball team.
