About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Institute for Systems Research (ISR), and also with appointment (affiliated) at the Department of Computer Science (CS), at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am also a member of the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS), the Center for Machine Learning, the Maryland Robotics Center (MRC), and the Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC) program. During the deferral time before joining Maryland, I was a postdoctoral scholar at LIDS and CSAIL at MIT, and a Research Fellow at Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at Berkeley. I finished my Ph.D. from the Department of ECE and CSL at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I also received M.S. in both ECE and Applied Math from UIUC, and B.E. from Tsinghua University. My research interests lie broadly in Systems and Control Theory, Reinforcement/Machine Learning, Game Theory, Robotics, Computation, and their intersections.

Openings

I am actively looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students and postdocs with a strong mathematical and/or programming background. I might be slow in responding to related unsolicited emails. Nevertheless, if you have a strong background and think your interests are compatible with mine, please do not hesitate to contact me with your CV. Also, feel free to contact me if you are already admitted and looking for an advisor, or mention my name in your Ph.D. application (through either ECE or CS or AMSC programs), if you are interested in working with me.
