Short CV of Presenting Author:

Meysam Asadi is a PhD researcher in Electrical Engineering at Ghent University, where his research focuses on data-driven modeling of residential energy systems. His work includes the analysis and generation of synthetic load profiles using advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, particularly deep generative models such as GANs. By leveraging smart meter data and contextual features, he develops models capable of capturing the stochastic behavior of household energy consumption, including heat pumps and electric vehicles. These synthetic profiles are designed to support large-scale power system studies, enabling more accurate assessment of grid impacts, flexibility potential, and dynamic hosting capacity in low-voltage distribution networks.
