Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer

About Me

I am a Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer at Halliburton’s Advanced Controls Center of Excellence, where I develop advanced control and engineering solutions for drilling automation. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison under the guidance of Prof. Xiangru Xu. I received my MSE in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor in 2019, where I was mentored by Prof. Necmiye Ozay and Prof. Jean-Baptiste Jeannin. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Energy and Power Engineering at Peking University, with a double major in Economics from the National School of Development, in 2017.

I specialize in the theoretical analysis and application of autonomous and controlled systems and familiar with various programming languages, including MATLAB, Python, and C.
