I am currently a tenure-track assistant professor in the School of Data Science (SDS) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen).

Prior to joining SDS, I received a PhD in CMS at the California Institute of Technology, co-advised by Dr. Steven H. Low and Dr. Adam Wierman. I graduated from CUHK in a dual-degree program and obtained a BEng in information engineering, a BSc in mathematics and an MPhil in information engineering. I interned twice as an applied scientist at AWS security in the summers of 2020 and 2021.

My research interests focus on interdisciplinary topics in machine learning, control, and optimization, with applications to power systems and sustainability. In particular, I am interested in developing trustworthy machine learning techniques that improve the sustainability, robustness, scalability, privacy, and resilience of intelligent energy infrastructure. Some of my recent projects include learning-augmented control, data science and ML methods in smart grids.


RECRUITMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: I am actively looking for PhD students, research assistants, and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in contributing to the emerging domains of

  • Learning-augmented online control and algorithms

  • AI for sustainability

  • AI in energy systems

  • Trustworthy machine learning in cyber-physical systems

Several positions for fully-funded postdocs/graduate students/undergraduate interns focusing on the study of machine learning, power systems, control, and optimization are available. Feel free to send me an email with your CV attached. Other formats of local and remote collaboration are also welcomed.
