Overview

I am a Research Associate at Cardiff University, working on the HI-ACT project to support the integration of hydrogen into existing energy systems. My research focuses on the dynamic modelling, simulation, and optimization of integrated energy and storage systems, with a particular interest in multi-vector networks and their role in decarbonization. I am especially passionate about advancing promising energy storage technologies as key enablers of a sustainable and low-carbon energy future. With over eight years of research experience, I develop AI-assisted frameworks and digital tools to support smarter, more resilient energy infrastructures. My goal is to contribute to the transition toward clean energy systems through innovation, collaboration, and multidisciplinary approaches.
