Short Bio
I obtained my Ph.D. in Dec. 2019 from University of Groningen, the Netherlands, advised by Prof. Ming Cao, and received my M.E. in 2015 from Wuhan University. From 2020 to 2023, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher with Prof. Fabio Pasqualetti with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Riverside. Before that, Since 2023, I have been a member of Dutch Brain Interface Initiative (DBI²), a multi-institute consortium, working on control of neural dynamics for brain disorder treatment.
Current Research Topics
- Closed-loop neurostimulation with control methods
- Non-conventional computing, learning, and control (incl. neuromorphic)
- Efficient Online Decision-Making (Reinforcement Learning and Bandits)
- Nonlinear systems modeling and control
- Data-driven control
