I am always looking for outstanding young talents to join my research group.
Currently I've been actively advising graduate students at Tsinghua SIGS. Please check out the graduates’ program for Electrical Engineering master and Ph.D (2026 fall, Application GUIDELINES for International Student) now, living expenses are covered by SIGS scholarship.
Several Post-Doc Positions are available. The salary package is Negotiable, but definitely >= ￥420k per year (pre-tax) including subsids from Shenzhen Goverment.
Some Research Assistant(RA) positions are also available. We'll provide living expenses for qualified candidates.
Visiting Scholars from other universities are also welcome.
Please send your CV to me if interested.
Research Interests
My research group and I mainly focus on optimization for power and energy systems, including following research topics:
Offshore Renewable Energy, e.g. offshore wind
Power Systems, with renewables and energy storage
Energy Internet, especially Integrated Energy System
