About Me
I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Polytechnique Montréal, Canada. I obtained my PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China in Sept 2019. Subsequently, I held research positions at several institutes, such as Laboratoire des Signaux et Systèmes, CNRS-CentraleSupélec, France; Australian Centre for Robotics, The University of Sydney; and Robotics Institute, University of Technology Sydney, Australia.
My research interests include the estimation and control of nonlinear systems, with special emphasis on robotics. I was honored with the 2019 IEEE CCTA Best Student Paper Award from IEEE Control Systems Society.
Open Positions
PhD positions. If you are interested in control theory (estimation, control, and learning) and robotics, there are open PhD positions for you. These positions are available for Fall 2024 or Winter 2025. If are interested and would like to know more, please don't hesitate to reach out. More details are available here.
IEEE CDC Workshop 2023
Along with Yongping Pan, Sayan Roy, Alexey Bobtsov, and Romeo Ortega, we are organising a pre-conference workshop (Modern Adaptive Control and Estimation) at the 62nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), Singapore, December 12, 2023. More details can be found here.
