Yuexin Bian (边玥心)

I am a firstsecond year PhD student in ECE department at University of California San Diego, advised by Prof. Yuanyuan Shi.

My research interests broadly lie in optimization and control, with applications in power system. Before starting my graduate education at UC San Diego, I completed my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Zhejiang University, China.

News: Will present our work ``Predicting Strategic Energy Storage Behaviors’’ at FERC, 2023.

News: Invited to present our work ``Demand response model identification and behavior forecast with OptNet: A gradient-based approach’’ at Informs, 2022.

               



My Research

My research focuses on optimization and control, with applications in power system.

I am interested in combining machine learning and optimization to learn the agent aims to solve an unknown optimization problem or forecast the time-series data that is the solution of an optimization problem.

I am also interested to combinining neural networks and control theory to propose control algorithms with high efficiency and optimality.
