👋 About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Zhaoye Qin. My previous experiences include:

  • Apr 2025 - Sep 2025, Visiting scholar at Yale University,collaborating with Lu Lu.
  • Apr 2022 - Sep 2022, Research intern at AIR, Tsinghua University, supervised by Yuanchun Li.
  • Sep 2019 - Jun 2022, M.Eng. in Control Theory and Control Engineering at Soochow University (SUDA), supervised by Prof. Liang Chen and Prof. Changqing Shen.
  • Sep 2015 - Jun 2019, B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering at SUDA.

My research interests including trustworthy AI, foundation model and reliable prognostic and health management (PHM). I have published numerous papers in top-tier international journals with total google scholar citations 500+. Feel free to reach out for collaboration opportunities!
