Research summary

Nan Gu's research focuses on the economics and operation of electricity markets and power grids, including how utilities dispatch power under uncertainty, how energy trading and bidding mechanisms should be designed, and how storage, forecasting, and pricing schemes affect market outcomes. The work combines optimization methods (such as robust and chance-constrained optimization) with market design and policy analysis for power systems.
