Profile/About Me
Cheng Guo's research is in the intersection of optimization and economics, with a focus on energy markets and power systems. Her research deals with the challenges of uncertainty and nonconvexity in power grids, using optimization methods such as copositive programming and integer programming. She also develops decomposition algorithms to solve the optimization models more efficiently.
