About Me

Welcome! I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University under the advice of Prof. Can Li . I used to be a Buckeye! I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2022, where I was advised by Prof. Antonio Conejo. I am passionate about developing theory, algorithms, and models for large-scale optimization and machine learning with applications in power and energy systems. I am always happy to chat, so please feel free to reach out via email.
