About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Purdue ECE at Purdue University, advised by Dr. Junjie Qin.

My research interests include coupled energy infrastructure systems, generative models, and optimal control, with a focus on modeling and decision-making for interconnected energy and transportation systems.

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen in 2023, where I was advised by Dr. Shuang Li.
