Methods and themes behind the work

This work is driven by a long-term ambition: improving power-market efficiency and helping build a more sustainable energy system through AI, market design, and trading practice.

I pay particular attention to short-term power markets, where renewable uncertainty, self-dispatch, and price formation meet most directly.

Research Themes

Core domains

Electricity Markets

Market design, price formation, short-term market behavior, and cross-border trading mechanisms.

Energy AI

Forecasting, probabilistic modeling, optimization, and safe decision systems for complex energy environments.

Storage and Flexibility

Battery dispatch, flexibility assets, and market participation under operational and regulatory constraints.

Energy Digitalization

Turning models and workflows into decision systems that real energy organizations can deploy and use.

Methods

What I work with

Modeling Stack

Time-series forecasting, feature engineering, probabilistic modeling, optimization, and scenario analysis.

Decision Stack

Constraint-aware decision models, reinforcement learning, and safe AI for energy systems and market workflows.
