Personal profile
Personal profile
I received PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK, in 2015. I worked as a Lecturer in Wuxi Institute of Technology and as a Senior RD Engineer in Wuxi Ysphotech Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. from 2017 to 2018, and was a Research Associate in University of Liverpool from 2015 to 2017. Currently, I am an assistant professor in Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. My research and teaching interests include mechatronics and robotics (intelligent control and machine vision, etc.), and electrical engineering (switching technology in high power networks).
Research interests
Mechatronics and Robotics, including robotic system modelling, control, industrial automation, computer vision, digital twin
Electrical Engineering, switching technology in high power networks, including gas discharge and breakdown, plasmas, current interruption in power system and insulation of electric apparatus
