About Me

I am a PhD candidate at the University of California, San Diego, advised by Prof. Yuanyuan Shi. I am honored to be a UC‑National Lab In‑Residence Graduate Fellow, collaborating with Dr. Deepjyoti Deka at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). My research focuses on reinforcement learning and control, with applications to modern power systems.
