I am now a Professor at North China Electric Power University (NCEPU), Beijing, China. Before joining NCEPU, I was an Associate Professor at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark. From 2013 to 2016, I have been a Marie Curie Early Stage Research Fellow funded by European Commission’s MEDOW project. I have been a Visiting Researcher at China Electric Power Research Institute, China, at Elia, Belgium and at Toshiba International, U.K. I was a Research Associate at Cardiff University from 2018 to 2022.

I am a Chartered Engineer in the U.K., an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy and CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems and an Editorial Board Member of CIGRE ELECTRA. I received the CIGRE NGN Significant Contribution Award in 2024 and the First CIGRE Thesis Award in 2018.

I am leading the DC Control and Protection (DCCP) group at NCEPU. My research interests include control and protection of HV and MV DC, offshore wind.
