- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I am the Lecturer in Cyber Physical Systems in the CIREGS centre of School of Engineering of Cardiff University. My research interests include power system demand side response, peer-to-peer energy trading, and distributed ledger technology (blockchain).
I am a Subject Assistant Editor of the journal Applied Energy (Impact factor: 8.848), and an Associate Editor of the journal IET Energy Systems Integration. I am also a Standing Director of Power Grid Operation & Control Subcommittee of IEEE PES Power System Relaying & Control Satellite Committee - China.
I received my B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Tianjin University, Tianjin, China, in 2011, 2016 and 2016, respectively. I was a post-doctoral research associate at School of Engineering, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK from 2017 to 2020.
