Summary
I am a Ph.D. holder in solar energy, with a focus on resource modeling and forecasting using artificial intelligence techniques. I also possess a strong knowledge base in the broader field of energy and hold an academic background in electrical engineering and embedded systems.
During my tenure as a Ph.D. student and R&D engineer at a prominent research institute, I honed essential skills, including the design, implementation, and analysis of renewable energy research projects. My proficiency extends to advanced modeling and simulation techniques, and I excel in collaborative efforts within interdisciplinary teams to address complex challenges.
The culmination of my research efforts has resulted in the successful publication of several articles, accompanied by the distinction of receiving three Best Paper awards at international conferences.
Currently, I am actively seeking new opportunities to apply my technical skills, drive innovation, and contribute to the progress of renewable energies. My high motivation and eagerness to take on new challenges fuel my commitment to making impactful contributions in this dynamic field.
