About

I’m passionate about leveraging data science to drive sustainable solutions within the energy and built environment sectors.

I completed my PhD in the Building Science and Engineering Group (BSEG) led by Professor Jin Wen at Drexel University. My doctoral research focused on developing data-driven strategies to optimize performance and control of smart Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs).

In my current role, I specialise on developing and deploying end-to-end data analytics, machine learning algorithms, and optimised engineering research strategies to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions in commercial buildings.
