I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University. I received my B.S. degree (2016) and Ph.D. degree (2021) in Control Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Hua Geng. From 2021 to 2025, I worked in the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zürich with Prof. Florian Dörfler, first as a Postdoctoral Researcher and later as a Senior Scientist. Further details are available in my CV.

I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D., visiting, and undergraduate students with a strong background and research interest in smart energy systems. If you are interested in joining my group, please send me your CV and academic transcripts.

Research Interests

My research area interfaces smart energy systems, power system dynamics, stability, control, optimization, and standarization, involving multidisciplinary expertise in automatic control, power systems, power electronics, and renewable energy integration. In particular, my research interests include:

• Stability: Modeling, stability analysis, and control of converter-dominated power systems
• Dynamic Services: Fast frequency and voltage response, dynamic virtual power plants, and data-driven control
• Optimization: Optimization and game theory in renewable-rich power systems
• Standardization: IEC generic modeling of inverter-based generation and next-generation grid codes
