👋 Hi there! I’m a Lecturer in EECS at MIT.

Previously, I was a lecturer and postdoc at Princeton University and then MIT. I received my Ph.D. in EECS from MIT, working on optimization and robotics with Russ Tedrake. I received my S.M. also from MIT EECS, working on educational technology. And before that, I graduated valedictorian from the Harbin Institute of Technology, China, with a B.S. in AeroAstro and a B.A. in English Literature.

Besides teaching and engineering, I love comedy, skateboarding, and learning languages.
