Yilin Huang

Dr. Yilin Huang is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology, affiliated with the Systems Engineering and Simulation group. She holds a PhD in Automated Simulation Model Generation from TU Delft (2013) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship from 2014–2016.

Her research focuses on Modeling and Simulation (M&S) methodology, with emphasis on data-driven approaches, distributed simulation, and design for sustainability. Key application domains include transportation/logistics, smart grids, and humanitarian innovations. She teaches courses like 'Complex Systems Engineering' and 'Advanced Discrete Simulation', contributing to both academic and practical advancements in simulation-based design.

Huang's work bridges disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, emphasizing the complementary nature of both. Her recent publications address energy transition planning, carbon footprint quantification, and pandemic impact analysis on maritime networks. She actively collaborates on EU projects like CIVIS and develops open-source platforms for smart grid engagement (e.g., YouPower).

Her academic contributions span simulation reproducibility, IoT integration in energy systems, and policy-informed model development. She advises on intercultural internships and maintains research portals on ResearchGate and Google Scholar.
