Research identity

I work on dynamic security of converter-dominated power systems: whether the grid stays stable after a fault, and whether margins such as critical clearing time (CCT) remain adequate. I pursue this through stability theory for grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) converters, physics-informed surrogates for transient stability assessment (TSA) and CCT screening, and grid digital twins.
