Post-Doctoral Researcher

Princeton University

Biography

I am currently a Postdoc at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University, working with Prof. Ning Lin. I received my PhD degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University in June, 2022, supervised by Prof. Qinglai Guo and Prof. Hongbin Sun. I received my Bachelor degree with Honor in Electrical Engineering from Wuhan University in June, 2017.

My current research interests spin around renewable energy systems under climate risks, including modeling, risk analysis, optimization and decarbonization. In particular, I am broadly interested in building a new bridge between the energy system and the climate science. I was a recipient of the Best Reserach Award of IEEE PES PhD Dissertation Challenge 2023, the CIGRE Thesis Award 2023, the IET Premium Awards in 2019, the Outstanding Reviewer of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems in 2020, and the Best Conference Paper Award from the IEEE Conference on Energy Internet and Energy System Integration in 2017.
