Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UCSD. I am also affiliated with the Center for Energy Research and the Center for Machine Intelligence, Computing & Security. My research interests broadly lie in machine learning, dynamical systems, and control, with applications to sustainable energy systems and other intelligent systems. 

I received my Ph.D. (2020) in Electrical and Computer Engineering and M.S. (2020) in Statistics from the University of Washington advised by Prof.Baosen Zhang on the topic of machine learning and control for energy systems. Prior to UCSD, I spent 1 year as a postdoc fellow at Caltech advised by Prof. Adam Wierman and Prof. Anima Anandkumar, and several research internships in Google DeepMind, JD Research, and Doosan Gridtech.
