RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant Aug 2015 – May 2019, Sep 2019 – Dec 2019
Stony Brook University – Stony Brook, NY
Led collaborative research projects that developed into publications in the following domains:
-
Distributed Control: Designed control laws with provable stability for a geographically distributed network of data centers to participate in primary frequency control
-
Online Optimization: Designed algorithms with theoretical performance guarantees that make real-time decisions and utilize noisy predictions for power grid and cloud computing applications
-
Demand Response: Incorporated uncertainty into customer load behavior models and designed a contract for an electric utility company to change customer loads that lowers cost
Graduate Intern May 2019 – Aug 2019
National Renewable Energy Laboratory – Golden, CO
​​
-
Power System State Estimation: Incorporated power flow equations into standard Matrix Completion techniques to provably reduce the number of needed measurements
Undergraduate Research Intern Jun 2007 – Aug 2007
Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Delaware – Newark, DE
​​
-
Studied self-assembling silica nanostructures in supersaturated aqueous solutions under various physiological conditions to determine regression features for nanostructure size
Postdoctoral Researcher Jan 2020 – Present
National Renewable Energy Laboratory – Golden, CO
