About Me

I'm currently a final-year CS Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University, fortunately advised by Prof. Chenye Wu. I earned my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST).


I had the opportunity to be a visiting student at the Computing + Mathematical Sciences (CMS) Department, Caltech from Aug. 2023 to Mar. 2024, advised by Prof. Adam Wierman. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Zaiwei Chen at Purdue IE, Prof. Wei Qi at Tsinghua IE, and Dr. Laixi Shi at Caltech CMS.

I am currently on the 2024-2025 job market, seeking full-time academic positions. Please feel free to reach out if there are any opportunities for collaboration or position!

Research Interests

Motivated by critical challenges in sustainable energy systems, my research interests lie at the intersection of learning and optimization. I focus on developing sample-efficient and robust decision-making frameworks with provable guarantees by formalizing and encoding task-dependent structures and information. Specifically, I aim to address the challenges in energy system operations within time-varying and safety-critical environments, contributing to scalable, adaptive, and sustainbale solutions.
