About Me
I graduated from the Department of Automation (DA, 自动化系), Tsinghua University (THU, 清华大学), Beijing, China, with a Bachelor’s degree in 2020 and from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, with a Ph.D in 2025, supervised by Li Li. My main research interests include deep reinforcement learning (DRL), intelligent decision-making, intelligent scheduling, autonomous driving.
During my PhD studies, I have published over 30 papers in top SCI journals and international conferences such as IEEE T-ITS, IEEE T-IV, TRC, and IEEE ITSC. I have obtained over 500 Google Scholar Citations and have applied for 7 invention patents. I have also been invited to serve as a reviewer for multiple SCI journals and international conferences.
I was awarded the honors of Outstanding Graduate of Beijing [北京市优秀毕业生], Outstanding Graduate Student of BEIJING ASSOCIATION OF AUTOMATION [北京自动化学会优秀研究生(北京市每年约10人)], National Scholarship [国家奖学金，Top 2% in Tsinghua University], Excellent Comprehensive Scholarship of Tsinghua University [清华大学综合优秀奖学金(一等)] , etc.
