I am an Honorary Industry Fellow within the Energy Futures team at the Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF), University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

During my tenure as a Senior Research Consultant at ISF, UTS, I focused on modelling microgrids, community batteries, load flex, and broader local energy solutions.

I specialise in leveraging data-driven forecasts and energy system optimisation to drive Distributed Energy Resources (DER) integration. I have a background in power engineering and a PhD in Sustainable Energy Systems from Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) in New Zealand.

Also, during postdoctoral fellowship at VUW, I developed a proprietary microgrid sizing tool (SMOULDER) and designed innovative microgrid solutions for both grid-connected and off-grid communities in New Zealand.

Looking ahead, I aim to focusing further on sustainable energy systems and engaging with public- and private-sector energy stakeholders to better understand how energy planning optimisation can drive the deployment of renewable energy systems in Australia and globally.
