My work lives at the intersection of control theory, optimization, and applied artificial intelligence, with a strong focus on energy systems and automation. I enjoy tackling challenges that are technically demanding, conceptually layered, and forward-looking — the kind of problems that don’t have a single obvious solution.

My Journey

I began my engineering path with hands-on projects in ventilation and refrigeration systems, learning early how theory meets reality in physical systems. This practical foundation naturally evolved into a passion for modeling, control, and optimization, which led me to pursue a PhD in Energy Systems Engineering.

During my doctoral and postdoctoral years at DTU and ETH Zurich, I worked on:

• Intelligent control of microgrids under uncertainty
• Model predictive control and state estimation
• Data-driven methods for energy system operation
• Teaching and mentoring students in automation and control

Alongside technical research, I took on roles in research coordination, data stewardship, and project management, gaining a system-level view of how innovation ecosystems function.

How I Think & Work

• Curiosity-Driven and Multi-Perspective — I have a strong drive to understand problems from multiple angles: mathematical, physical, data-driven, and human. This allows me to identify hidden structure, challenge assumptions, and design robust solutions.

• Optimistic and Resilient — I approach complex challenges with optimism and persistence. When fully invested, I can sustain focus and effort under high pressure, seeing projects through to meaningful results.

• Human-Centered Leadership — I enjoy working with people and bring empathy, tolerance, and diplomacy into teams. I value respectful collaboration, constructive conflict resolution, and clarity in communication — especially across disciplines and cultures.

• High Standards, Continuous Growth — I hold myself to high professional standards and actively seek challenges that push me to grow. I’m learning to embrace vulnerability and authenticity as strengths, knowing that trust and accountability create better outcomes.

Beyond the Technical

While engineering is central to my identity, I am also shaped by movement, music, and global experiences.

Outside of work, I enjoy water sports, winter sports, music, dance, and traveling, all of which keep me grounded, energized, and open-minded. These experiences influence how I collaborate, teach, and lead — with presence, curiosity, and respect.

What I’m Looking For

After several years in academic research and teaching, I am now transitioning into industry, seeking roles where I can apply advanced control, optimization, and AI methods to real-world systems.

I am particularly interested in opportunities in Hangzhou and Shanghai, where technological innovation, energy transition, and digitalization are evolving rapidly.

I’m motivated by environments that value:

• Learning and experimentation
• Technical depth combined with practical impact
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration
• Long-term vision and responsibility
