About me

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I am supervised by Prof. Danny H.K. Tsang in the research group of Computing, Communications and Energy System Optimization (C2E). I received the B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) in 2013 and the Diplôme d’Ingénieur de l’Ecole Centrale Marseille (ECM) in 2015, equivalent to a Master of Science. I joined the HKUST as a PhD student in September 2014.

Research interests

My research interests include the development of models and algorithms for the optimization in power systems.
