Personal profile
Research profile
Starting my research journey from today's fossil fuel-based system, I am sailing on the way to tomorrow’s green energy solutions. My current research focuses on developing and employing state-of-the-art energy system models to modeling, planning, optimizing and analyzing the transition pathways towards future sustainable energy systems under the Smart Energy Systems context. I am especially interested in the techno-economic and environmental analysis on the integration of renewable energy and the uptake of diverse advanced low carbon technologies at the local, regional and national scales.
