I am an associate professor at DTU Civil Engineering. I have been working on smart energy systems and smart cities projects, including IFD CITIES, EUDP EnergyLab Nordhavn, EUDP IEA EBC Annex 67 and Annex 82, IFD SEM4Cites, EU Combiotes, and EU ARV. My focus in the projects is on building energy flexibility including thermal and electrical flexibility, using modelling and data-driven approaches. 

I am the operating agent of the IEA EBC Annex 82, an international collaboration running from 2020 to 2025 on energy flexible buildings towards resilient low-carbon energy systems. I am also a board member of the Horizon Europe R&I partnership Built4People, contributing to defining the built environment's research topics in Horizon Europe.

I have (co)supervised seven Ph.D. students who graduated successfully, and I am (co)supervising two working on energy flexibility in buildings and districts using data-driven approaches. I have been a member of evaluation committees for Ph.D. theses for universities including UC Dublin, TU Eindhoven, Chalmers University of Technology, Norwegian university of science and technology, etc.

My research interest includes smart cities, smart buildings, energy demand flexibility, energy system modelling, big data analysis, data mining, building physics and services. I have published many manuscripts in high-profile scientific journals, e.g., Applied Energy, Energy, Energy and Buildings, Applied Thermal Engineering, etc.
