51社区黑料

Tell us about yourself.
I鈥檓 a Sustainable Energy Engineering master鈥檚 student at SFU, passionate about clean power and smart energy systems. I鈥檝e always been curious about how things work, but I truly found purpose when I realized engineering could help build a more sustainable world. Moving to Canada opened doors to research, community and growth. At SFU, I鈥檝e worked on EV-grid integration and renewable energy and grid planning鈥攁nd outside the lab, I love cooking, traveling and finding inspiration in new places.

What was your most memorable moment from your time at SFU?
My most memorable moment at 51社区黑料was defending my thesis. After months of modeling, coding and refining, presenting my research felt incredibly rewarding. It wasn鈥檛 just about passing鈥攊t was proof of how much I鈥檇 grown academically and personally. Sharing my work with professors and peers reminded me why I chose this field: to contribute to a smarter, cleaner energy future. That moment made everything鈥攍ate nights, doubts, breakthroughs鈥攚orth it.

How has your experience at 51社区黑料prepared you for your career path?
51社区黑料shaped both my technical skills and my mindset. Through research and collaboration, I learned how to model systems, communicate complex ideas and solve real-world problems. Just as importantly, I gained a strong sense of community and learned to see the bigger picture鈥攈ow engineering can serve people. That perspective will guide me as I build a meaningful, impactful career.

If you could give one piece of advice to incoming students, what would it be?
Always ask questions and don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out for help. People are usually willing to support you, but you must take the first step. Seeking help early can save you time and stress later. I wish I knew this in my first year鈥攊t makes learning and growing much easier.

What are your future plans?
I鈥檓 starting as a Substation Studies Engineer at Powertech, taking what I learned in my master鈥檚 straight into real-world systems. Down the road, who knows鈥攎aybe a PhD鈥檚 in the cards. For now, I鈥檓 pumped to get hands-on experience and make an impact in the power sector.

What was your research focus?
My research focuses on integrating solar PV and EVs into power grids by addressing all three key paradigms: planning, operation and control. I developed a framework for optimal EV charging station placement, smart inverter functions and coordinated scheduling between grid operators to reduce losses, improve voltage stability, and support the transition to a low-carbon energy system.
