About Us
Solstice AI was founded by Julian de Hoog, Peter Ilfrich, and Maneesha Perera, and we draw on a wide network of friends, colleagues, and fellow researchers to help us achieve our vision.
Julian de Hoog completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Oxford, and a postdoc at the University of Melbourne studying the impact of electric vehicles on distribution networks. Most recently he spent 6 years as a senior research scientist at IBM Research, where he worked on renewable energy forecasting and optimal control of energy storage.
Peter Ilfrich is an experienced full-stack software engineer and architect with a German Diploma in computer science. He worked in multiple domains (e-commerce, banking, healthcare, energy) and is familiar with a broad spectrum of technologies, computing infrastructure and methodologies. He previously worked as senior software engineer for IBM Research.
Maneesha Perera is a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne. Her research focuses on improving distributed solar power forecasting using data driven techniques with a particular focus on Deep Learning methods. She previously worked as a part-time research intern at IBM Research Australia. Before starting her PhD, she also worked as a full stack software engineer at Sysco Systems.
