Hi, I'm Bo Zhou! Welcome to my personal website!
I joined the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in September 2022, working with Prof. Siqian Shen and Prof. Ruiwei Jiang. I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Huazhong University and Science and Technology in June 2022, where I was supervised by Prof. Jinyu Wen and Prof. Xiaomeng Ai at the Smart Grid Operation & Control (SGO) Lab.
My current research focuses on bilevel and two-stage optimization under uncertainty as well as its applications in power and energy systems. Particularly, I think energy storage (grid) will be the critical enabling technology toward the sustainable and low-carbon transition of the energy sector.
