Research area

My research interests lie in optimization, learning, and control of dynamical systems. Specifically, I am curious about the fundamental limits of and the interplay between model-based, physics-guided and model-free, data-driven control approaches. I aim to use these approaches to achieve optimal, autonomous, online, and distributed decision-making for engineering systems, particularly power systems and mobile robots.

I am a Ph.D. student at the Max Plank ETH Center for Learning Systems and work with Prof. Florian Dörfler at the Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA) at ETH Zürich and Dr. Michael Mühlebachcall_made at the Max Plank Institute for Intelligent Systems. I received my B.Eng. degree (with honors) and M.S. degree in Control Science and Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, in 2019 and 2022, respectively. During my master’s studies, I was supervised by Prof. Xinping Guancall_made and Prof. Jianping Hecall_made. From July to October 2021, I was a visiting student at IfA, ETH Zürich.

My research interests lie in optimization, learning, and control of dynamical systems.
