Dr. Shu Su is a Lecturer in Mathematical Sciences at Auckland University of Technology, specializing in applied mathematics and data analytics. At the CNBM–AUT Hub, she develops mathematical models, advanced optimization methods, and blockchain-based tools to manage uncertainty in energy markets and ECAV operations. Her research underpins dynamic pricing schemes, coordinated charging strategies, and transparent energy trading platforms, ensuring individual decision-making aligns with broader system objectives.
Dr. Sadeeshvara Silva is a Lecturer in Power Electronics with deep experience in EV charging, power converters, and DC microgrids. At the CNBM–AUT Hub he leads work on efficient EV chargers, V2G-capable power electronics, and hardware-aware charging methods to keep systems safe, reliable, and grid-friendly. He blends hands-on design skills with system-level analysis to create robust, scalable solutions for electric transport and distributed energy, and he works with industry and grid operators to turn research into real products.
Dr. Zoey Zhou is a Lecturer at AUT who focuses on power system control, integrating renewables, and applying AI for smart grids. At the CNBM–AUT Hub she develops reinforcement-learning control methods that coordinate renewable generation, energy storage, and electric connected/automated vehicle (ECAV) charging to support stable, low-emission, V2G-capable power systems. She also works on practical implementation and testing to ensure these solutions are robust, scalable, and compatible with existing grid operations.
Dr. Ramon Zamora is a Senior Lecturer at Auckland University of Technology specializing in microgrids, energy management, and renewable-plus-storage grid integration. At the CNBM–AUT Hub he leads research on ECAV-enabled microgrids and vehicle-to-grid systems, developing architectures that use electric and autonomous vehicles as flexible energy resources to boost resilience, efficiency, and decarbonization for community and industrial networks.
