About Me
I am a PhD candidate at Delft University of Technology, in the Algorithmics group. My work focuses on the design of markets and auctions, their theoretical properties, and their application to electricity markets. I am funded by the project Gaming beyond the Copper Plate, through the NWO URSES (Uncertainty Reduction in Smart Energy Systems) programme.
Research and Publications
My research focuses on the design of markets in electricity systems. I design auctions and market mechanisms which better facilitate the trade of electricity or electricity-related services (such as transmission capacity or balancing services). I aim to contribute to fair markets which facilitate the incorporation of both innovative technologies by consumers and renewable electricity sources at all levels of the physical system.
