What I'm working on

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

Energy systems

Studying the impact of soiling on solar panels (with Abhinav Bora (Waterloo), Sharat Singh and Hugh Hunt (Quadrical))
Design of a low-cost pyranometer (with Costin Ograda-Bratu and Sharat Singh)

Studying the impact of climate change on the transmission grid (with Petr Dolezal and Emily Shuckburgh)

Controlling EV charging to allow arbitrary shaping of the load profile of a condominiums complex or a commercial building (with Harsimrat Bhundar and Lukasz Golab, with support from SWTCH Energy, Inc.)
Using Reinforcement Learning to control the operation of storage systems in a generalised setting; specifically developing tools that allow multiple RL algorithms to be tested on distribution of buildings (with Arduin Findeis and Fiodar Kazhamiaka)
Using Reinforcement Learning to control storage operation in the presence of bidirectional EVs (with Ned Groom and Arduin Findeis)
Sizing solar and storage in a residential setting in the presence of bidirectional EVs (with Anais Berkes)
Using ray tracing to optimally site solar panels on rooftops to avoid shadowing and self-shadowing (with Benedictas Tarasovas)

Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits (with Tom Swinfield, Anil Madhavapeddy, David Coomes, and Andrew Balmford)
Estimating the rate of carbon sequestration in tropical forests (with Amelia Holcomb, Simon Mathis and David Coomes)
Modelling the value of impermanent sequestration (with Tom Swinfield, Andrew Balmford, Ben Groom and Frank Venmans)
Using a blockchain to store semi-fungible carbon credit tokens (with Derek Sorensen and Anil Madhavapeddy)
Making forest plot measurements faster (with Amelia Holcomb and Sofia Stefanovic)
Identifying till/no-till agriculture from remote sensing (with Madeline Lisa's, Clement Atzberger, and Andrew Blake)

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