About me

I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Power, Energy and Control Engineering research group at The University of Queensland, Australia and an adjunt Senior Research Specialist at SolarisAI Pty Ltd. The 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. My current research work involves developing predictive maitenance algorithms for the early detection of inverter and tracker motor failures in utility-scale solar farms.
