Research area
My research interests lie in optimization, learning, and control of dynamical systems. I am curious about exploring the interaction between the physical system and the computing world from a system-theoretic perspective.
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 Mühlebach at the Max Plank Institute for Intelligent Systems. I also work with Dr. Saverio Bolognani.
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 Guan and Prof. Jianping He. From July to October 2021, I was a visiting student at IfA, ETH Zürich.
