Short biography
I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree at the Automatic Control Laboratory at LTH.
I was a graduate research assistant at Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA) at ETH Zurich from December 2016 to January 2019, where I mainly worked on system-theoretic solutions to synchronisation problems arising in power systems.
I received both my Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Cybernetics Engineering (Technische Kybernetik) from University of Stuttgart in Germany in 2013 and 2016. My university studies were founded on the understanding of dynamical systems and rooted in the mathematical theory of control.

Research interests
My research interests are related to the theory of modelling and control of networked systems with application to control of DC/AC converters in power systems.
My research topics revolve around:
- Inverse optimal control in networked systems
- Stability of coupled oscillators
- Stochastic optimisation using Gaussian and Markov processes
