Some recent news about my research and activities.

Nov 22, 2024 I'm one of the organizers of the IFIP Performance 2025 conference, which will take place in Amsterdam from November 11 to 14, 2025. Consider submitting your papers there! For a comprehensive list of topics and submission guidelines, check out call for papers, deadline is May 25, 2025.
Nov 19, 2024 New preprint on dynamic dimensioning of frequency containment reserves, in collaboration with Jöbke Janssen, Bert Zwart, and Jalal Kazempour. This approach leverages a diffusion model for frequency fluctuations and leads to identical grid safety levels but at lower costs! This study focuses on the FCR-N product in the Nordic grid and using their historical frequency data. Check it out here!
Oct 24, 2024 I've been awarded a VIDI grant for my research proposal, "Power Network Optimization in the Age of Climate Extremes"! I'm very grateful to the NWO (Dutch Research Council) for the opportunity to develop new mathematical methods for more climate-resilient power grids. See the project description and the other recipients here.
Oct 22, 2024 I gave a presentation at INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle about the work in progress with Jalal Kazempour, Bert Zwart, and Jobke Janssen on data-driven stochastic frequency reserve dimensioning. Stay tuned for our preprint!
Oct 21, 2024 I have been interviewed about the RL work that Erica, Sandjai, and I have been doing in the context of power systems in collaboration with TenneT! Check it out here here!
