Mareldi Ahumada Paras
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Resources Engineering
BioPostdoctoral scholar working with the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the intersection of climate policy, energy resilience and decarbonization. My graduate research focused on power system resilience and planning during extreme events. Previously, I worked at General Electric Company as an Edison and operability engineer on power turbine design and remote diagnostics of existing fleet.

Xiaofan Cui
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Resources Engineering
BioWelcome to my home page! I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, sponsored by Prof. Simona Onori. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor working with Prof. Al-Thaddeus Avestruz. My research bridges concepts from circuits, control, and systems to address challenges in future power and energy systems. My Ph.D. dissertation focused on physics-based modeling, control, and design of energy systems. At Stanford, I broadened toward data-driven modeling, identification, and prediction of energy systems. Future energy systems can be more heterogeneous in form and more agile in actuation because of more integration of power electronics. My proposed work addressed these challenges by innovating control-aware modeling frameworks, provably-correct control policies, physics-informed learning schemes, and high-performance hardware validations.
I earned two M.S. degrees in ECE and Mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I received two bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Economics from Tsinghua University, China. I enjoy reading and hiking in my spare time. If you are interested in future energy systems, I believe my “full-stack” skillsets from theory to hardware would be a good complement to your previous experiences. Please feel free to reach out to me by email. Have a good day! -
Matteo Frigo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Resources Engineering
BioMatteo Frigo has been a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at Stanford University since August 2023.
He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in civil engineering from the University of Padua in 2014 and 2017, respectively.
In 2020, he received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Padua, with a major in Numerical Analysis.
During his Ph.D., he spent a period as a Visiting Researcher Student at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), California, USA.
His leading scientific interests include mathematical and numerical modeling of multiphysics problems mainly related to poromechanics and fracture mechanics.
His research mainly focuses on studying numerical linear algebra problems and preconditioning techniques.
He has experience in implementing high-performance parallel codes on supercomputers with distributed memory and GPU accelerators. -
Maomao Hu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Resources Engineering
BioMaomao Hu is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at Stanford University since November 2021. Prior to joining Stanford, he was a postdoc in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford for two years. He received his PhD degree in Building Environment and Energy Engineering from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2019. In 2018, he studied as a guest PhD student in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark.
His research interests include data analytics, data-driven modelling, numerical optimization, and model predictive control of the building and urban energy systems for GHG emission reduction, energy efficiency, energy flexibility, and energy resiliency. He has been actively contributing to international collaborations, including the ongoing IEA EBC Annex 81 (Data-Driven Smart Buildings) and Annex 82 (Energy Flexible Buildings Towards Resilient Low Carbon Energy Systems). -
Mingliang Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Resources Engineering
BioI am currently a postdoctoral scholar working with Tapan Mukerji on digital rock physics at Stanford University. My research focuses on geophysics inverse problems, seismic reservoir characterization, history matching, digital rock physics, data assimilation and deep learning. I completed my PhD degree in geophysics from the University of Wyoming in 2021 under the supervision of Dario Grana, and earned the bachelor and master degree from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in 2013 and 2016, respectively.
