I am a PhD student in EE at Arizona State University advised by Prof Yang Weng. I received my master degree in ECE from Cornell University, where I was advised by Prof Eilyan Bitar. My research interests include Foundation Model, Decision-Focused ML, Physics-Informed ML, Data-driven Energy Decarbonisation, and Distributed Energy Resources. I received the National Scholarship and serve as reviewer for Applied Energy, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, and Complex & intelligent systems.
