research

My current research projects are in the following areas:

1. Monitoring and estimation in power grids and dynamical systems
   Development of learning and inference methods that integrate conservation laws and flow physics with statistical machine learning to enable reliable topology and state estimation, as well as fault detection.

2. Machine learning–augmented optimization of power systems
   Development of surrogate models, including deep neural networks and Gaussian processes, to enable computationally efficient and feasible solutions for optimal power flow and stability problems.

3. Reliable grid integration of datacenters
   Modeling, planning, and operation of data centers to support grid reliability while respecting workload constraints and infrastructure limits.

4. Coordination of flexible energy resources
   Development of scalable coordination algorithms for distributed energy resources at the grid edge such as storage and responsive loads, under operational and user-level constraints.

These research efforts are supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy, Los Alamos National Laboratory, MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) member companies, and the GE Vernova–MIT Alliance.
