Being unique is difficult, because there are no excuses.

About Me

I am an undergraduate in Data Science at the University of Michigan (Umich). Before transferring to Umich, I also studied at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) and majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

My research interest lies broadly in control theory, dynamical systems and swarm robotics. Currently, I’m doing projects on applying control theory to explain biological sensori-motor system. Also, I’m doing the “Atombot” swarm robotics project, which is about decentralized swarm robots control. Preciously, I researched on the extrapolation of ignition delay for unknown fuels from known fuels using neural networks.

I am applying for graduate programs and expect to graduate in the Summer of 2025. Please reach out to me if you are looking for Ph.D. students.
