Optimization for large-scale power systems in the energy transition
The optimal power flow problem and its variants
I am a PhD student at LIX (computer science lab of Ecole Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris) under the supervision of Leo Liberti and Claudia D'Ambrosio (LIX, CNRS). I am also affiliated with Ecole des Ponts ParisTech. In the context of my thesis, I collaborate with the R&D department of Réseau de transport d'électricité, the French Transmission System Operator.
My main research topic is the Alternating-Current Optimal Power Flow (ACOPF) problem, an emblematic optimization topic for economic dispatching of electricity. I am currently working on spectral optimization methods for solving efficiently and accurately the ACOPF's semidefinite programming relaxation. I am also focusing on factoring in data uncertainties and stability constraints in the ACOPF problem.
More generally, I am interested in polynomial optimization, linear semi-infinite programming and nonsmooth optimization.
