About
A graduate at master's level from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg with a GPA of 2.0. Currently pursuing PhD in the area of microgrids at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I try to apply acquired knowledge from education and research for tackling real-world problems by leveraging strong organizational, designing, and programming skills. I have done extensive research in the renewable energy domain by developing optimization and simulation models that improved the system's performance.
Research Interest:
-
Renewable energy
-
Multi-model energy systems
-
Data-driven modeling
-
E-mobility
Work experience
Worked as a research assistant at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg for one year with following accomplishments:
-
Analyzed the impact of the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) on grid operation.
-
Developed simulation models to calibrate the electric vehicle load from the traffic model data.
-
Automated the data-processing using python which decreased the error probability and improved the handling efficiency by 8.4%.
-
Improved the voltage stability by 5.6%, by considering the short-term uncertainty in the EV load for a multi-model energy system.
-
Proposed solution algorithm that decreased the computational time of the planning problem by 13.2%.
