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. I interned twice as an applied scientist at AWS security in the summers of 2020 and 2021.

My research centers on interdisciplinary topics in control, online decision-making, optimization, machine learning, and power systems. I am passionate about developing AI theory and tools for critical real-world complex systems.

I am looking for PhD students and Postdocs who are interested in contributing to the emerging domains of:

  • AI + Energy
  • Control, reinforcement learning and online decision-making

Feel free to send me an email with your CV attached. Other formats of local and remote collaboration are also welcomed.
