Research

The primary focus of my research is advancing technologies for electrical-grid innovation and off-grid electrification. One of these technologies is microgrids, which provide independent power generation and storage systems capable of operating as mobile systems, stand-alone systems, or supplemental systems as part of larger conventional power grids.
