Working on

What I'm working on

This page is my attempt to keep track of all the things I'm working on...

Energy systems

• Joint optimal placement, sizing, and operation of PV, storage, and bi-directional EVs (with Anais Berkes)
• Studying the impact of system configuration on the energy usage of LLMs (with Grant Wilkins and Richard Mortier)

Extreme weather impact and mitigation

• Solace project for dealing with extreme heatwaves in cities
• Studying how urban buildings can cope with extreme weather events (with Livia Capol, ETH and Zoltan Nagy, UT Austin)
• Studying the impact of climate change on the transmission grid (with Enming Liang and Minghua Chen (both CityU HK))

Environment and conservation

• Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits
• Studying the impact of forest degradation on carbon stock and structure (with Amelia Holcombe and David Coomes)
• Decision-theoretic analysis of the voluntary carbon market (with E-Ping Rau, David Coomes, James Gross, KTH, and Michael Schapira, Hebrew University)
• 3D forest structure determination using SfM and DNNs (with Yihang She, David Coomes, and Andrew Blake)
• Studying the impact of wildfires on forest carbon stock (with Jovana Knezevic, David Coomes, and Andrew Pellegrini)
• Carbon sequestration in regrowing forests in the Brazilian Atlantic (with Felipe Begliomini and David Coomes)
• Identifying land use from remote sensing using self-supervised learning (with Madeline Lisaius, Clement Atzberger, and Andrew Blake)
• Using CNNs and computer vision for low-cost and realtime insect biodiversity measurement (with Sachin Matthew, Matteo Redana and Lynn Dicks)
• Low-cost sensing of soil moisture (with Ju Wang (Northwest U., China and Omid Abari, UCLA)
• Developing algorithms for trunk diameter estimation in complex environments using game engine-based training (with Frank Feng and Yihang She)

Misc.

• Designing an index to measure researcher influence and also identify potential research fraud (with Ankai Jie)
