I am a second-year PhD student in Department of Computer Science of Johns Hopkins University and supervised by Prof. Vishal M. Patel in VIU Lab. I completed my M.Sc degree in Texas A&M University and worked closely with Prof. Shankar P. Bhattacharyya on Control Theory. Before coming to U.S., I obtained my bachelor degree from University of Science & Technology of China (USTC).

I am looking for a research internship for Summer/Fall 2025!
