Energy System Analyst, PhD

About me

I am an data analytics lead in the energy sector. With all colleagues in the energy sector, we are trying our best to reduce carbon emissions and provide clean, cheap and reliable energy to everyone.

I would like to see how data science is applied in the energy sector.I am particularly interested in:

  • Python
  • Data Science
  • Web development
  • Integrated energy system
  • Climate Change
  • Distributed Renewable Energy System

I would like to use this place to record what I have learned and came across. If you think what I posted here interests you, do not hesitate to contact me. You can always email me.

I have tea, do you have coffee?
