His research interests lie in the development of analytical tools and scalable computational schemes for optimization and equilibrium problems, with a focus on addressing competition, uncertainty, nonsmoothness and nonconvexity. Much of his research finds application in the realm of power systems and markets, where he has examined a range of questions, including the examination of strategic interactions in multi-settlement markets under uncertainty, the location of electrical substations and dynamic competitive equilibrium models. From 2006 to 2012, he was first an assistant professor and subsequently an associate professor (effective Summer, 2012) at the Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering (ISE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
