Research

Intelligence for real-world engineering

I investigate models that can learn from complex temporal and visual data while remaining efficient, robust, and useful in operational settings.

Energy Forecasting

Probabilistic and deterministic forecasting for electricity demand, renewable generation, and hydroelectric inflow.

Time-Series Intelligence

Transformers, diffusion models, signal decomposition, hyperparameter optimization, and model interpretability.

Computer Vision

Inspection and fault detection methods for electrical infrastructure and complex industrial environments.

Industrial Monitoring

Data-driven condition assessment, anomaly detection, and intelligent decision support for engineered systems.

Graph Learning

Structured learning approaches that represent spatial, relational, and temporal dependencies in energy systems.

Collaboration
