About Me

I am a PhD student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of Notre Dame. My advisor is Professor Fanxin Kong , I also work closely with Insup Lee and Oleg Sokolsky , and we are currently working on recovery and security problems in Cyber-physical Systems. Before that, I received my bachelor degree from University of Toronto in 2018 and I received my master degree from Syracuse University in 2020. I worked on several projects of NLP and scientific computing problems before I joined the PhD program. My CV can be found here.
