About
I am pursuing a PhD degree with concentration on Renewable Energy and Smart Grid. I have strong interest in smart systems, and how they may be successfully used to increase organizational performance and efficiency.
After I graduate from my program, I hope to work as a researcher and consultant in the field of intelligent systems. This will allow me to design, model, and implement smart systems for energy companies, hospitals, schools, and other relevant locations to ease people's lives and increase productivity.
