Abstract: I present an algorithm based on sector decomposition and Mellin-Barnes techniques to power expand Feynman integrals. The coefficients of this expansion are given in terms of finite integrals that can be calculated numerically. I show in an example the benefit of this method for getting the full analytic power expansion from differential equations by providing the correct ansatz for the solution. For method of regions the presented algorithm provides a numerical check, which is independent from any power counting argument.
