projects
Case studies in power systems, infrastructure planning, optimization, and applied AI.
Portfolio
Models, systems, and the decisions they support
Each case study states the problem, what I built, what the analysis found, and where its conclusions stop.
Theme 01
Grid planning & applied AI
How can planners evaluate large new loads more quickly without hiding engineering and regulatory constraints?
Applied AI research
Multi-agent AI platform for grid planning and large loads
A research prototype with four specialist agents, hybrid retrieval, and a blind evaluation harness for interconnection and large-load questions.
Infrastructure optimization
Offshore wind-powered AI data centers
A 43-million-variable siting model for gigawatt-scale clean compute, coupling wind resources, storage, grid backup, and network latency.
Theme 02
Clean infrastructure siting
Where can large loads and industrial facilities obtain reliable low-carbon energy at a workable cost?
Plant-level optimization
Large-Scale Spatial Optimization for Industrial Decarbonization
548 steel, ammonia, and methanol plants, each matched to hourly renewable resources. 66% can run fully off-grid, 79% with an 8% grid connection.
Power system modeling
Offshore wind that gets local approval
Provincial priorities, not national cost, decide what gets built. Offshore wind could supply 3 to 18% of China's electricity by 2050.
Theme 03
Decarbonization strategy
Which deployment and policy choices reduce cost and emissions, and where do those objectives diverge?
Capacity expansion modeling
Where battery storage should go
Letting each province choose its own storage strategy is always cheapest, but lowest cost and lowest emissions are not the same strategy.
Techno-economic analysis
Hydrogen subsidies that backfire
Subsidizing grid-based electrolytic hydrogen raises emissions above coal-based hydrogen in a coal-heavy power system.
