Biography

I work in service development at Coreso, a regional coordination center focused on enhancing electricity grid security and capacity management across Europe. Before joining Coreso, I was a researcher at KU Leuven’s Electrical Energy Systems and Applications (ELECTA) group and a part of the EnergyVille research center in Belgium. My background includes extensive experience supporting large transmission system operators in over 30 countries with digital solutions, developed through roles at GE Digital and ENTSO-E. My research has centered on transforming power systems by developing decision support tools and analyzing resource adequacy. I recently completed my PhD, with a thesis titled Transmission Grids and Resource Adequacy - A Cross-Border Perspective.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about endurance sports, regularly competing in marathons and triathlons. Explore more about my work and publications here.
