Welcome to my personal website!
I am a Lecturer at the Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Modelling (DAIM) at
University of Hull,
serving as Postgraduate Research Director.
I earned my PhD from Brunel University of London in September 2023. I also hold an MRes in Energy Systems (2019) from
The University of Edinburgh and a BEng in Energy and Environmental System Engineering (2018) from Shandong University.
I am leading the MSc Artificial Intelligence for Engineering variant programme.
As part of this programme, I developed its core module, AI-Driven Optimisation and Control, integrating cutting-edge AI technologies into engineering practices to solve real-world industrial challenges.
I am leading Energentic AI, a platform pioneering modular Agent-as-a-Service solutions for forecasting, optimisation, and control in energy systems. Our mission is to empower developers and energy companies with intuitive, AI-enhanced tools that streamline real-time decision-making, improve system transparency, and enable scalable automation.

Can Large Language Model Agents Balance Energy Systems?
arXiv:2502.10557, 2025
We integrate LLMs with a multi-scenario SUC framework to improve efficiency and reliability under high wind uncertainties. Experiments show that the approach cuts costs and load curtailment.
