About Me

Profile Picture

I am currently a Master’s student at Tsinghua University, working in the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Thermal Management Engineering and Materials at the Shenzhen International Graduate School, supervised by Prof. Hongda Du. Previously, I was a visiting student at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), advised by Prof. Feng Zheng(a recipient of the National Excellent Young Scientist Award), where I worked on trustworthy diffusion models and content security in AIGC. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Information Security from Qingdao University, where I conducted research under Prof. Hanlin Zhang — who completed his Ph.D. under Prof. Wei Yu, an NSF CAREER Awardee — focusing on privacy-preserving outsourcing computation and secure IoT systems. These experiences equipped me with solid research training in cybersecurity and trustworthy AI, providing a strong algorithmic foundation that now supports my interdisciplinary work in AI for Energy Storage.

I am always open to discussions and collaborations — feel free to email me.


Research Vision

My overarching goal is to harness artificial intelligence and optimization to accelerate innovation in low-carbon and sustainable energy systems.
I aim to bridge the gap between material thermal mechanisms, system operations, and energy safety control through data-driven, interpretable, and robust AI frameworks.


AI for Energy Storage

Focusing on data-driven modeling, safety early warning, and intelligent optimization for battery energy storage systems, exploring scientific machine learning and generative models for physical processes.

Battery Thermal Management & Energy Safety

Investigating thermal runaway suppression mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries and cooling strategies like PCM coupling under high-rate discharge thermal behaviors, using multiphysics simulation to enhance energy safety.

Optimization

Used to research AIGC content security (Diffusion model watermarking/adversarial defense) and IoT privacy protection, hoping to apply robust optimization to digital energy systems.
