I’m interested in preparing our power system to respond to climate change by enabling large-scale renewable integration. My primary research focus is on how to ensure system-wide stability of the electric grid as the grid becomes increasingly reliant on renewable energy. My current work uses frequency domain analysis to derive decentralized stability conditions for grid-connected inverter controls. Outside of research, I love to bike, cook, and do the crossword.

Small Signal Stability of Hybrid AC/DC Grids
With the growth of offshore wind and HVDC, there is an increasing need to analyze the stability of AC and DC networks together as one integrated system. This project focuses on frequency domain analysis of hybrid AC/DC systems with both machine- and converter-based generation. It derives decentralized conditions on the controls for each generator to guarantee system-wide stability.
