About

I am a PhD researcher at Imperial College London working at the intersection of energy systems, machine learning and electricity markets.

My research develops computational methods for spatial energy planning, power-system emissions and low-carbon infrastructure. I am particularly interested in using graph learning, geospatial analytics and statistical learning to add useful spatial and temporal information to energy-system models while keeping the underlying optimisation and engineering logic interpretable.

I also work with Climate Compatible Growth on energy-system research supporting Zambia and Malawi.

Selected research

Graph learning for spatial energy planning

Settlement-scale graph-based aggregation for electrification planning in Zambia.

A variational graph autoencoder learns spatial representations from a 24,550-settlement proximity graph. The resulting embeddings are converted into connected, technology-characterised planning units and interpretable supply-curve bands.

Code and reproducibility

Machine learning for spatial marginal emissions

Research on spatial marginal emissions in transmission-constrained, decarbonising power systems.

The work combines power-system modelling and interpretable machine learning to understand how network constraints, dispatch conditions and spatial demand changes shape marginal emissions signals.

Open research

I aim to make research outputs reproducible and reusable. My public research repositories are structured around versioned inputs, transparent assumptions, deterministic analysis where possible, validation checks, tests and citation metadata.

The Zambia VGAE release includes frozen analysis artifacts, checksum verification, reproducibility scripts, tests, source attribution, data licensing and a CITATION.cff file.
