Teaching

Teaching is a central and highly rewarding part of my academic work. I particularly enjoy introducing students to the rapidly evolving fields of electricity markets, power-system economics and energy-system planning, and connecting fundamental concepts with the practical challenges facing today's energy sector.

My teaching emphasises the interaction between market mechanisms, optimisation, power-system operation and the energy transition. I aim to help students understand not only how models and markets work, but also how these tools can be used to analyse real-world problems involving renewable energy, hydropower, flexibility, balancing and future power-system development.

A key part of my teaching approach is to combine theory, computational modelling and practical applications. Students work with realistic electricity-market and energy-system problems, including optimisation models, data analysis and case studies inspired by current developments in the Nordic and European energy sectors.

I greatly value active interaction with students and try to create a learning environment where they are encouraged to question assumptions, explore alternative solutions and develop independent analytical thinking. Collaboration with industry and external experts is also an important element of my teaching, helping students connect academic methods with ongoing developments in the energy sector.

My teaching activities span master's-level specialisation and PhD education, with particular emphasis on:

Electricity-market design and power-system economics
Energy-system planning and optimisation
Hydropower scheduling and resource allocation
Balancing markets and ancillary services
Flexibility and distributed energy resources
Renewable-energy integration and future power systems
Optimisation and computational methods for energy applications

Publications

My publication activities focus on the economics, operation and planning of future electricity and energy systems. The work combines electricity-market analysis, optimisation, power-system operation and increasingly digital and AI-supported methods.

A recurring theme across my publications is the interaction between market design, physical system operation and flexibility, particularly in power systems with high shares of renewable generation. My work can broadly be grouped into three main research areas.

Research Areas

1. Electricity Markets and Hydropower Scheduling

This research area covers electricity-market modelling, market design, hydropower scheduling and optimisation under uncertainty.

A particular focus is the role of flexible hydropower in Nordic and European electricity markets, including price formation, production scheduling, resource allocation and coordination with increasing shares of variable renewable generation.

More recent work also explores how machine learning and artificial intelligence can support long-term hydropower scheduling, scenario generation, forecasting and decision-making under uncertainty.

2. Power-System Balancing and Market Coordination

This research area focuses on balancing markets, reserve procurement and activation, congestion management and coordination of flexible resources across different electricity-market timeframes.

The research examines the interaction between electricity-market design and physical power-system operation, including Nordic and European balancing arrangements, flow-based market coupling, reserve markets and short-term system operation.

3. Local Flexibility Markets and Smart Energy Systems

This research area examines how distributed and flexible energy resources can participate efficiently in electricity markets while supporting secure and cost-effective power-system operation.

Topics include local flexibility markets, local energy communities, batteries, electric vehicles, flexible buildings, grid tariffs and coordination between distribution-system operators, aggregators, consumers and prosumers.

Emerging Research Directions

My recent publication activities increasingly connect these research areas with new methods, technologies and system-level challenges. Current and emerging topics include:

AI-supported hydropower scheduling and energy-system optimisation
Machine learning for forecasting, scenario generation and decision support
Flow-based market coupling and congestion management
Balancing-market design and flexibility coordination
Distributed flexibility and local energy communities
Offshore wind and future North Sea energy systems
Hydrogen integration and sector coupling
Long-term energy-system and transmission planning

Supervision

Supervision of PhD candidates and early-career researchers is a central part of my academic work. My supervision activities span electricity markets, hydropower scheduling, power-system balancing, flexibility, optimisation, energy-system planning and emerging energy technologies.

I particularly value supervision as a collaborative research process, where students and researchers are encouraged to develop independent scientific thinking, strong analytical skills and research that contributes to both academic knowledge and real-world energy-system challenges.
