About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering 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.
