I am Yunfei Du, currently completing my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University (expected 2026). I received my B.E. from Shandong University and my M.E. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, both in Electrical Engineering.
My research focuses on renewable energy and integrated energy system planning and operational optimization, bridging power systems, energy engineering, and operations research. My work centers on offshore wind farm optimization, green hydrogen production, and low-carbon energy system planning, with applications in real-world engineering projects. I am passionate about translating cutting-edge optimization methodologies into practical solutions for the decarbonization of energy systems.
