Biography

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at McMaster University, co-supervised by Prof. T. Kirubarajan and Prof. R. Tharmarasa. Before that, I worked as a research assistant with the Department of Computing at Hong Kong Polytechnic University during 2018.8~2019.7, supervised by Prof. Lei Zhang. I received the M.Eng. degree in Control Science and Engineering from Southeast University(SEU), Nanjing, China, in 2018, supervised by Prof. Xianzhong Dai ; the B.Eng. degree in Measurement & Control Technology and Instruments from Anhui University of Technology(AHUT), MaAnshan, China, in 2010. My research interest covers multiple robots cooperation, machine learning, computer vision and artificial intelligence.

My CV is available here. (Updated on Mar. 2019)
