Hello there! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering at Purdue University, currently in my fourth year of study. Under the guidance of my esteemed advisor, Dr. Ran Dai, I have the privilege of working in her lab, the Automation and Optimization Laboratory. Prior to joining Purdue, I gained valuable industry experience as an engineer at Baidu Inc, a high-technology company, where I focused on research and development in the field of autonomous driving. Before that, I obtained a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Beihang University.
