Hi there! I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), advised by Prof. Pierluigi Nuzzo. I was a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California (USC). My research focuses on the design and verification of cyber-physical systems (CPS), utilizing contract theory for system abstraction, compositional verification, and AI-based methodologies for system design.

I received my B.E. in Microelectronic Science and Engineering from Fudan University (復旦大學). I was fortunate to work with Prof. Jianli Chen and Prof. Bei Yu on machine learning-based applications in electronic design automation (EDA).

Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in my research topics or have any questions. I am always open to collaborations and coffee chats!
