I am an electrical engineer specialised in electrical power systems and academic researcher with over 10 years of international experience across 8 different countries in Europe and Americas. Currently, I am a Lecturer in Power Systems Engineering with the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. I am a member of the Sustainable Energy Systems research centre, Climate Adaptation and Environment Resilience, and Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change. 

My research proposes and envisages to develop innovative approaches to enhance power grid resilience to severe weather events and ensure security of supply now and in the future. Application domains include large-scale interconnected transmission and distribution systems at national and regional levels as well as smart grids over different long-term planning and short-term operational timescales. My work has covered a considerably wide range of aspects involved in resilience assessment and enhancement decisions in power grids with strong interdisciplinary and intersectoral contributions.

I am currently a co-investigator of the EPSRC Supergen Energy Networks Hub and of the D-RES project funded by UKRI STFC through DAFNI.

I am an active member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) and European Public Policy Committee (EPPC), CIGRE Working Group D2.52 on artificial intelligence application in power systems, RMetS Energy Special Interest Group, and ESIG Integrated Strategic System Planning. I often participate in calls for evidence and provide consultations on power grid infrastructure resilience and related topics for energy companies and governments.
