About Me

Welcome! I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering at Colorado State University. Before, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Dr. Zhenghui Sha. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and my M.S. and B.Eng. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Before my Ph.D., I gained a year of valuable industry experience at SAIC Volkswagen in Shanghai.
