Research highlight
  • My general research area is the fusion of machine/deep learning with dynamic physical networks. Particularly, I am interested in distilling information from high-dimensional structured data, sparse networks and fomulating real-time efficient algorithms. Specific applications include event identification, faults location, detection, and non-intrusive load disaggregation in power grids.
 Educational Background/Employment:
  • Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY, 2019
  • M.S., Applied Mathematics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY, 2019
  • B.S., Electrical Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), Harbin, China, 2013
  • Employment:
    • 2019-Present: Postdoc Research Associate, Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM
    • 2015-2019: Research Assistant, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY

Research Interests:

  • Physics-informed machine/deep learning for the large-scale dynamic networks
  • Real-time algorithm with low-rank sparse data
  • Graph-based learning and neural networks
