About me
I am an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI Postdoctoral Fellow at the AI for Science Institute, Cornell University, working with Prof. Fengqi You.
Before joining Cornell, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University in 2025, advised by Prof. Chenye Wu and Prof. Ran Duan. I was also a visiting student researcher in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech from 2023 to 2024, advised by Prof. Adam Wierman. I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Software Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2020.

Research
My research focuses on reliable and data-efficient reinforcement learning for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. I study how imperfect but useful structure, including coarse predictions, decomposable dynamics, optimization geometry, stability, and operational constraints, can guide learning when data are limited and failures are costly. A central goal is to develop algorithms with rigorous guarantees on sample complexity, performance, and constraint satisfaction. I apply these ideas to energy systems and AI computing infrastructure, where online scheduling, control, and policy design coordinate physical resources and computing demand under uncertainty.
