About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, working with Dr. Zheng O'Neill in the Building Energy and HVAC&R Research Group.

Before joining Texas A&M, I received my M.S. in HVAC & Gas Engineering from Tongji University, where my thesis developed a hybrid energy consumption prediction model for office buildings based on heterogeneous data, advised by Prof. Peng Xu. I received my B.E. in Built Environment (with a minor in Business Administration) from Chongqing University, where my thesis explored the automatic design of HVAC systems based on Building Information Modeling (BIM).

I also worked as a Machine Learning Research Intern at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, developing reinforcement learning control for data center liquid cooling systems, and as a Graduate Research Intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, developing control-oriented models and conducting field tests of model-predictive control strategies for grid-interactive commercial buildings.
