Developed voltage control algorithms using machine learning and optimization to enable self-balancing electrical grids. Built models analyzing long term energy costs, emissions and security.

• Restructured data, aggregating to monthly level, imputing missing data and calculating asset fleet statistics (Python)
• Applied various machine learning and time series models to forecast budget, improving baseline by 74% (Python)
• Built a binary optimization model reducing asset categories past useful life on average by 68% (Julia)

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Working alongside Prof. Alexandre Jacquillat on applying stochastic-robust optimization methods to supply chain tasks.

Partnered with BAM’s energy trading desk to enhance physical weather model uncertainty predictions. Applied time series, sparse regression and tree-based techniques, improving performance over baselines by up to 55%. Analyzed geographic and temporal relationships via feature differencing, interpretable modeling and variable importance. Communicated key.
