Short Bio
I received my B.E. degree from Electrical Engineering Department, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in July 2004. Then I came to the United States and completed my M.S. in Engineering Sciences from Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences , Harvard University in June 2005. I am now studying towards Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. My academic advisor is Prof. Marija D. Ilic.

Research Interestes

I have a wide variety of research interests ranging from power systems to network sciences. Specifically, the research projects that I have been or am being involved with include monitoring of quasi-static voltage problems in power systems, modeling and anslysis of cyber-physical power grids with renewable resources, simulation of price dynamics in deregulated power markets, and stability of complex dynamic networks.
