I am an assistant professor and a presidential young fellow with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. I received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering and automation from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2013, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering from The University of Hong Kong, in 2017. I was a visiting scholar at Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, IL USA, from 2015 to 2017, a postdoctoral researcher with The University of Hong Kong from 2017 to 2019, and a postdoctoral research fellow with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor from 2019 to 2021. My research interests include power systems, resilience, grid-interactive buildings, AI and optimization.
Power grid resilience is one of my primary research interests. A major part of my resilience research is on the utilization of spatial and temporal flexibility from mobile power sources and grid-interactive buildings to enhance distribution grid survivability and recovery. I am the chair for IEEE PES Emerging Loads Subcommittee, and the chair for IEEE PES Task Force on FlexGEBs to Enhance Electric Service Resilience. I am also an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, and an awardee of the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid Outstanding Paper Award, IEEE PES General Meeting Best of the Best Paper Award, IEEE PES PCCC Outstanding Young Engineer Award, and IEEE PES Technical Council Young Professional Award.
The Resilience Fellowship provides me with a great opportunity to work with researchers with the 4TU RE Centre to achieve collaborative accomplishments.
I was a Younge Fellow in the 4TU.DeSIRE programme.
