I am currently an Assistant Professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong.

I received my Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in June 2014, and my Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University (supervised by Prof. Chongqing Kang) in Jan. 2019. From March 2017 to April 2018, I was an exchange student researcher at the University of Washington (supervised by Prof. Daniel Kirschen). From Feb. 2019 to Aug. 2021, I served as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Power Systems Laboratory, ETH Zurich (supervised by Prof. Gabriela Hug).

I currently serve as the secretary of IEEE Customer Systems & Smart Buildings Subcommittee, the secretary of IEEE PES Working Group on Energy Forecasting and Analytics, and the secretary of CIGRE Working Group on Application of 5G Technology to Smart Grids. I also serve as the Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, IEEE Systems Journal, and IET Renewable Power Generation.

My research interests include data analytics in the smart grid, energy forecasting, multi-energy systems, Internet-of-things, cyber-physical-social energy systems.

Find me on: Google Scholar, ORCiD, and ResearchGate. Here is my CV.

Book Release

1243 

We are pleased to announce the release of our book, titled “Smart Meter Data Analytics” published by Springer.

This book aims to make the best use of fine-grained smart meter data to process and translate them into actual information and incorporate them into consumer behavior modeling and distribution system operations. It begins with an overview of recent developments in smart meter data analytics. Since data management is the basis of further smart meter data analytics and its applications, three issues on data management, i.e., data compression, anomaly detection, and data generation, are subsequently studied. The following works try to model complex consumer behavior. Specific works include load profiling, pattern recognition, personalized price design, socio-demographic information identification, and household behavior coding. On this basis, the book extends consumer behavior in spatial and temporal scales. Works such as consumer aggregation, individual load forecasting, and aggregated load forecasting are introduced. We hope this book can inspire readers to define new problems, apply novel methods, and obtain interesting results with massive smart meter data or even other monitoring data in the power systems.

Feature of the book:

  • First book of its kind to introduce electrical smart meter data analytics in the power systems;

  • In-depth analysis and modeling of electricity consumer behavior from data-driven perspective;

  • Various applications and comprehensive case studies.
