I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from Boston University. My PhD advisor is Professor David Castañón. At BU, my research interests were in the fields of control, optimization, and estimation, with a focus on designing algorithms to solve problems of search for stationary or moving objects (e.g., lost planes, lost hikers) using multiple agents (e.g., robots, UAVs).

Before coming to BU, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Automation (Control) from Zhejiang University, China.
