About

I am now pursing the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I am very fortune to be advised by Dr. Xiang Yu and Prof. Li Cheng. I graduated from the School of Transportation Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree and from the Shandong University with a master's degree. I'm always looking for related collaboration. If you are interested to chat with me, feel free to drop me an email.
