I am an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at SUNY Binghamton University. Before that, I was a distinguished postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington affiliated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Clean Energy Institute, hosted by Baosen Zhang. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Iowa State University, advised by Zhaoyu Wang.

My research interests include modeling, control, optimization and machine learning for power systems with high penetration of renewable energy resources. Here is my CV.
