Portrait of Yan Zhang
Power systems × machine learning

Yan (Claude) Zhang P.Eng.

Senior Software Engineer at ThinkLabs AI

I build software for the electric grid. My work joins power-systems engineering with machine learning: graph neural networks that estimate the real-time state of distribution grids, and optimization models that utilities use to run distributed energy resources.

Before ThinkLabs, I spent five years on GE’s GridOS-DERMS. I hold an MEng from the University of Toronto and a BE from Western University.
