About
I am an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI Postdoctoral Fellow at the AI for Science Institute, Cornell University, working with Fengqi You. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University in 2025, advised by Chenye Wu and Ran Duan. From 2023 to 2024, I was a visiting student researcher in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech, working with Adam Wierman. I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Software Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2020.
Research
My research aims to understand the fundamental value of information and structure in sequential decision-making, and to develop reinforcement learning algorithms that efficiently exploit them. Examples of such information and structure include imperfect predictions, decomposable dynamics, Bellman convexity, Lyapunov stability, and chance constraints.
My applied research focuses on emerging challenges in power and energy systems, particularly reliable grid operation and the integration of AI data centers into power grids.
