engineering and economic challenges facing electrical power systems, energy systems and future
cities. Current research efforts include:
Advanced control methods and decision making tools for infrastructures such as energy
systems, environmental systems, technological processes, defence systems and
telecommunication systems, etc.
Intelligent decision support and control of large scale complex systems,
Multiagent softly switched robustly feasible model predictive control
Integrating monitoring, control and security of Critical Infrastructure Systems
Our research is highly interdisciplinary with strong collaborations via the Institute of Energy
Research and Policy and the Birmingham Centre for Cryogenic Energy Storage sponsored by
UK EPSRC. Excellent collaborations have been established with leading power companies
nationally and internationally such as ALSTOM, E.ON, National Grid, etc.
