Why do you want to join the DiveIn community?
It is with great pleasure to be part of the DiveIn community to address one of the key Global Challenges in energy transition for climate change (Beyond Net Zero). Not only this lies with my core research interests in the power and energy infrastructure; but also, the multidisciplinary research platform of DiveIn would create new ‘flashes’ in decarbonisation and digitalisation of our critical energy systems with joint effort from all disciplinary experts with various enable technologies in our hands. The community will be an outstanding platform for training of future young researchers.
Personal profile:
With background of Electrical Engineering, my research focus is oriented to our very important energy infrastructure – power networks. They are undergoing fundamental and transformative changes to allow clean and efficient energy delivery and that is my research passion.
I would like to form collaborations in utilising smart grid technologies and AI tools for transforming the power and energy systems for future, hence incorporating all aspects of grid-integrated or microgrid energy solutions: power generation, power conversion, energy storage, electrified transportation, electrified heating and cooling.
