Biography
Lan is a Research Assistant and PhD candidate at the University of Delaware in Energy and Environmental Policy. Before coming to UD, she worked as a Data Scientist at Tongji University for almost two years. Currently, her work utilizes observational methods and data from the "Urban Observatory" (http://MUONetwork.org) to analyze images of city skylines. She applies computer vision and machine learning techniques to study energy consumption and lighting technology in cities, as well as to inform operations and energy distribution policies. In detail, she explores three core topics in urban energy: outage detection and grid stability evaluated through urban lighting variability, energy efficient lighting changeover rates, and energy end-use behavior.
