Postdoc Research Associate
My research is centered on the development and optimization of sustainable energy systems through an integrated perspective that connects technology, environment, and economics. I investigate both conventional and renewable energy pathways, including coal and thermal power plants, as well as wind, solar, hydrogen, and advanced energy storage technologies. By employing advanced modeling and optimization techniques, I aim to improve system performance, reduce environmental impacts, and enable scalable, economically viable solutions for the transition toward cleaner energy infrastructures.
In parallel, my work focuses on the design, integration, and modeling of advanced energy and smart materials to enhance energy efficiency across built environments and controlled ecosystems. I explore materials such as electrochromic coatings, phase-change compounds, and high-performance semiconductors, applying them to energy-efficient buildings, greenhouses, and dynamic climate control systems. These material-driven solutions are integrated with intelligent energy management strategies to create responsive, adaptive, and sustainable infrastructures.
