Postdoctoral Researchers

Beatrice was a postdoctoral researcher in the Future Resilience Systems (FRS) programme. Her current research focused on enhancing existing and developing new methods for assessing the resilience of cyber-physical systems, i.e. the electricity grid and the open communication network, with the ultimate goal of identifying optimal recovery schemes for their recovery from disruptions.

Huadong received the B.E. degree in automation from University of Science and Technology of China, China in 2012 (Outstanding Graduate); and the Ph.D. degree in systems engineering and engineering management from City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong in 2016 (Outstanding Academic Performance Award for Research Degree Students 2013-15 at City University of Hong Kong). At RRE, he worked from 2016 to January 2019 on several topics, including reliability modeling and optimal maintenance of networked control systems, real-time power management of energy systems with communication networks, vulnerability analysis and resilience increase of cyber-physical systems, and data-driven modeling of residential energy use and renewable energy resources.
Lusine joined RRE from 2017 to 2018 for an industry partnership project with Swiss Re.

Beginning of 2015, Yiping joined the Risk and Reliability Engineering Laboratory. His research interests concentrate on the study and development of advanced computational methods for risk, vulnerability and resilience analysis of critical infrastructures (e.g. electrical power grids, energy-carrier networks), in particular their vulnerability and resilience assessment, optimum design and protection under operational uncertainties and external risks (e.g. natural disasters, terrorist attacks), and optimization methodologies for large-scale combinatorial problems, including stochastic optimization, robust optimization and artificial intelligence.
PhD Students

Andrea joined RRE as a PhD student in November 2014. In our group, he performed resilience assessments on the coupled operations of the electric and gas networks. In particular, he focused on the integration of renewables into critical energy infrastructures and alternative conversion technologies, as power-to-gas. He successfully passed his doctoral examination in September 2018.
