📚 Hi!!

I am a PhD student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The George Washington University, working under the supervision of Prof. Wei Peng in the Intelligent Aerospace Systems Lab (IASL).

My research interests center around solving complex sequential decision making problems via robust Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, with key applications in the aviation industry such airspace management and control, advanced air mobility, and flight control. Specifically, I focus on advancing safe multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for aerospace systems. My current work is funded by NASA under the University Leadership Initiative (ULI).

I hold a strong academic background in control science, engineering, and aircraft design from institutions including Tsinghua University and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I am committed to leadership development and community service, and I have a strong interest in music.

Opportunites

I am actively seeking research internship opportunities for summer-2026 related to AI, autonomous systems, reinforcement learning and/or flight control in academia, research labs or industry. If you are interested in collaboration or potential internship opportunities, feel free to reach out by email.
