About me

I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Power, Energy and Control Engineering research group at The University of Queensland, Australia. My project focusses on developing an all-in-one system that automatically detects and locates faulty or under-performing photovoltaic (PV) panels in utility-scale solar farms. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the same university under the supervision of Dr. Rahul Sharma, Prof. Tapan Saha and Dr. Ruifeng Yan. I am broadly interested in grid integration of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources, demand response and control and machine learning applications in power systems.
