I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering, working on systems and control theory, game theory, population dynamics, and multi-agent systems.

About

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. I am jointly advised by Prof. Xudong Chen and Prof. Bruno Sinopoli. I received an M.S. in Systems Science & Mathematics from Washington University in May 2026.

I received my B.E. in Electronic and Information Engineering from ShanghaiTech University in 2020, proudly among its third cohort of bachelor students since the university was founded in 2013. At ShanghaiTech, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Boris Houska and Prof. Youlong Wu.

I spent seven wonderful months at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University as a member of Prof. Jun Zhang's group in 2021 during the pandemic, where I met great friends and professors.
