Brief Biography

Currently, I am an Associate Professor in the School of Automation, Beijing Institute of Technology, China, and also a visiting research fellow at University of Western Australia, Australia. Before, I was a Post-doctoral Fellow in the same institute, working with Prof. Yuanqing Xia. In October 2019, I obtained Ph.D. degree at Tsinghua University, Bejing, China, under the supervision of Prof. Tong Zhou, who was an IEEE Fellow and CAA Fellow, and also the Associate Editor of the two top journals in control, IEEE TAC and Automatica. I obtained my bachelor degree majoring in control science and engineering at Tongji University, Shanghai, China, in 2014. I was born in July, 1993.

I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D./master/undergraduate students to join my group. Please email me your CV if you are interested.

Research Interests

I focus on combining computational tools from modern computer science theory with analysis and optimization of control systems:
  • Analysis and control of large-scale network systems, with applications to the power networks, cloud control systems, etc.

  • Combinatorial optimization with applications to control systems

  • Cyber-security and data-driven control and analysis
