I am an energy systems researcher bringing optimization and machine learning methods to energy system modelling to answer urgent policy questions and support the rapid decarbonization of our energy and transportation systems.

I am a Group Leader and Senior Researcher within the Chair for Sustainability and Technology (SusTec) at ETH Zürich. I earned my PhD in 2022 and MS in 2018, both in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in the S3L lab led by Prof. Ram Rajagopal. I earned my B.Sc.(Eng) in 2016 in Mathematics and Engineering from Queen's University, Canada. I am originally from Toronto, Canada. 

I am the recipient of an Ambizione Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation for my project Data-POETRY: Data-informed POlicy Exploration for TRansportation and energY. 

My research addresses electrification, emissions modelling, energy system decarbonization with a recent focus on electric vehicle charging patterns, equitable access, and grid impacts. I believe in science- and data-informed policymaking, and I enjoy projects that bridge the gap between policy and technical modelling. I work closely with both industry and policymakers to ensure the impact of my research. 

Teaching, mentorship, and working closely with students are some of the best parts of my job. I am passionate about equipping the next generation of engineers to make a positive contribution in our fight against climate change. 

I am committed to building inclusive communities in engineering and energy research.
