Short presentation

My work focuses on quantitative analysis of wind energy systems, including wind resource and energy yield assessment, geospatial analysis, and high-fidelity modelling, to support project and technology development. I am motivated by applying engineering expertise to the development of robust and sustainable wind energy solutions.
