Title: Physics Informed and Data Driven Approaches to Managing Energy Systems at Scales and Under Uncertainty

Abstract: In this talk I will review several approaches developed in my group related to real-time data driven monitoring and control of energy systems which are physics informed, i.e., consider physical modeling (equations). We will discuss interactions between energy systems moving heat, electricity and gas at different scales ranging from a building to distribution to transmission.
