About me

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. My research interests lie in the area of optimal control and robust control, with a focus on the application for Vibration Energy Harvesting.

I received the B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Tongji University in 2015. I reveived M.S. in Civi Engineering in 2017 and M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2020, both from the Univeristy of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
