I am currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), where I joined in December 2012. I obtained my Ph.D. in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University in August 2012. I received the B.E. degree (with honors) and the M.S. degree (with honors) in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University, China, in 2005 and 2007 respectively. Prior to joining RPI, I was a postdoc research scholar at Duke University from August 2012 to December 2012. My research areas include machine learning and data analytics, energy systems, signal processing, and optimization. I am a recipient of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Program (YIP) Award and the Army Research Office (ARO) Young Investigator Program (YIP) Award. At Rensselaer, I received School of Engineering Research Excellence Award. Please see my CV if you want to know more about me.
