I am an Assistant Professor in the AI Thrust of the Information Hub at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). The AI Thrust head is Prof. Lei Chen. Additionally, I hold an affiliated position as an Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong. My primary research focuses on the design and analysis of networked control systems integrating concepts from distributed optimization, networked control theory, machine learning, and privacy preservation. My goal is to develop novel algorithms that enable secure, scalable, and energy efficient integration of interconnected systems across smart grids, cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, and autonomous systems.
