Wei Ai
I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Energy and Power Engineering from Tsinghua University and Master's degree in Engineering Thermophysics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I researched thermo-mechanical energy storage. Motivated by my growing interest in macro-energy systems, I came to Michigan to pursue my Ph.D. degree. Currently, I'm working on energy infrastructure that underpins the energy system transition, including power grid, gas pipelines, and underground energy storage. I am also actively exploring the applications of AI in accelerating the energy transition.
