Collaboration

I welcome collaborations across academia and industry on reliable, scalable decision-making for future power systems.

Current Focus Areas

• Safe and scalable AI for grid-edge flexibility
• Chance-constrained and distributionally robust optimization for dispatch and markets
• Aggregation methods for DERs and reserve market participation
• Data-centre flexibility and power-system integration
• Policy-relevant analysis for equitable energy transitions

For Academic Collaborators

• Joint papers on optimization, power systems, and AI safety
• Co-supervision opportunities for MSc/PhD projects
• Grant proposal partnerships (UK/EU/international)
• Invited seminars, workshops, and focused reading groups

For Industry Collaborators

• Pilot studies on flexibility scheduling and reserve delivery guarantees
• Method transfer for uncertainty-aware operational tools
• Technical workshops for DSOs/TSOs, retailers, and aggregators
• Evidence generation for investment and policy decisions

Typical Collaboration Outputs

• Open-access papers and technical reports
• Prototype optimization/decision-support tools
• Data products and benchmarking workflows
• Joint workshops and dissemination activities
