About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Energy, Environment and Economy, Tsinghua University (https://www.3e.tsinghua.edu.cn), under the supervision of Da Zhang (http://www.energyda.cn). I graduated from Renmin University of China (https://www.ruc.edu.cn) and received dual bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and computer science from the School of Information (http://info.ruc.edu.cn).

My research interests center on power system transformation, electricity markets, and climate change, with a strong focus on developing novel analytical methods and tools leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies. I have successfully developed a series of integrated resource planning models with geographical scopes ranging from China to global applications, created an assessment model for renewable energy investment projects incorporating climate risks and market-based electricity pricing mechanisms, and pioneered the development of a method for extracting critical infrastructure from satellite imagery using vision-language models. I am passionate about contributing to a sustainable, economical, and secure energy future through interdisciplinary research.
