Programming Skills

I’m not a computing person by formal education, but I have been coding extensively in my research works. I use the following languages:

  • MATLAB (arguably the easiest one and many of my publications use it)
  • Python (I use Python here with CVXPY as the main package)
  • Julia (I use Julia here with JuMP.jl and OpenDSSDirect.jl as the main packages)
