About

I am an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in the Department of Wind and Energy Systems, where I lead research and teaching in the area of hybrid power plants and renewable energy integration. I serve as Head of Studies for the MSc program in Sustainable Energy Technologies - a flagship program at DTU.

My research focuses on the design, operation, and control of utility-scale hybrid power plants that combine wind, solar, storage, and energy conversion technologies. I co-lead the IEA Wind Task on Hybrid Power Plants and serve as Scientific Director of the “Hybrids, Grids and Storage” program at the DTU-TotalEnergies Excellence Center for Clean Energy. My work spans modeling, control, optimization, and grid integration of renewables, with strong engagement in European and global collaborations.
