Our new work, MAC+: “Mobility-Aware Co-Expansion Planning for Distribution Grid and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure”, is now on arXiv!

I had the pleasure of presenting it at the 3rd Economics of EV Charging Workshop on Oct 22, the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting on Nov 2, and a UC Davis EV Research Center meeting on Nov 4.

Thrilled to have completed my PhD at UC Berkeley and started my postdoc at Harvard!

• I gave a dissertation talk at Berkeley on Oct 30.
• Huge thanks to my committee, my family, and to many many people.
• I also shared my PhD work at the Harvard PAI seminar on Oct 9 and the WeLL seminar at the Berkeley Center for the Built Environment on Nov 3.

An updated version of MAC: “Scalable Optimization for Mobility-Aware Coordinated Electric Vehicle Charging in Distribution Power Networks” is now on arXiv!

A preliminary version presented at ACC 2026 won the ASME Energy Systems Technical Committee Best Paper Award.

We also shared this work at INFORMS TSL 2026 at MIT on Jul 29 and at MES 2026 Workshop at Georgia Tech on Aug 13.

Our paper “Trajectory-integrated accessibility analysis of public electric vehicle charging stations” (TI-acs) is now published in Sustainable Cities and Society!

Honored to receive the 2026 Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor (OGSI) Award for my GSI work in E7 (Fall 2025) and CE295 (Spring 2025)! Thank you to my wonderful students, and to Dr. Hallal and Dr. Arnold.

Grateful to receive the CTF Lipman Family Sustainable Transportation Graduate Fellowship!

Heading to TRB-AM 2026 in DC (Jan 11–15). Would love to connect there!

Our paper Two-Stage Mechanism Design for Electric Vehicle Charging with Day-Ahead Reservations, led by Pan-yang Su, was presented at CDC 2025!

Had a great time presenting our work at the Workshop on the Economics and Policy of Electric Transportation Charging Infrastructure at Harvard. Manuscript coming soon. Stay tuned!
