Short biography
I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree at the Automatic Control Laboratory at LTH.
I was a graduate research assistant at Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA) at ETH Zurich from December 2016 to January 2019, where I mainly worked on system-theoretic solutions to synchronisation problems arising in power systems.
I received both my Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Cybernetics Engineering (Technische Kybernetik) from University of Stuttgart in Germany in 2013 and 2016. My university studies were founded on the understanding of dynamical systems and rooted in the mathematical theory of control.

Research interests
My research interests are related to the theory of modelling and control of networked systems with application to control of converters in power systems.
I am always excited and curious about related engineering applications: social and biological applications (such as the study of gene regulatory networks and the differentiation of Mesenchymal stem cells).
My research topics revolve around stability and control of oscillatory systems:
- Cost design in applications of optimal control. Collaborators: Prof. Anders Rantzer, Dr. Emma Tegling
- Stability of nonlinear systems with symmetry: Contraction based analysis . Collaborators: Prof. Zhiyong Sun, Prof. Florian Dörfler
- Study of virtual oscillator control: Lambda-Omega virtual oscillator control. Collaborators: Dr. Emma Tegling, Prof. Zhiyong Sun
- Stochastic optimisation using Gaussian and Markov process (Stochastic Differential Equations, Markov Processes). Collaborators: Prof. Zhiyong Sun
