About Me
I am currently a Research Professor of Transportation Engineering at Tongji University. I am also a Visiting Researcher in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. Prior to joining Tongji, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. I hold a Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from New York University, an M.Sc. from Tsinghua University, and a B.Sc. from Jilin University. My research focuses on the intersection of control, optimization, and machine learning for societal systems transformation.
