About me
I was born in February 17th, 1997 in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, China. In June 2019, I received the B.Eng. degree with a major in Automation at the School of Internet of Things Engineering, Jiangnan University in Wuxi, China. I received my Ph.D. in Control Science and Engineering from Jiangnan University in Wuxi, China, in June 2025. Since July 2025, I have been affiliated with the School of Internet of Things Engineering at Jiangnan University, China. Since December 2025, I have been working as a part-time Postdoctoral Researcher under the guidance of Prof. Chunhua Yang at Central South University.
My main interests are in the areas of iterative learning control, constrained optimization, data-based control, reinforcement learning, and game-theoretic control.
