I am a Professor and PI of the Energy Systems and Optimal Control (eSOC) group within the Automatic Control unit at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. 

Experience: I received my PhD from the University of Melbourne, Australia, under the supervision of Prof. Chris Manzie and Prof.  Dragan Nešić, and obtained my B.E. degree from the Beijing Institute of Technology, China. I was also a visiting student researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. I joined Chalmers as a Researcher in 2017, became an Assistant Professor in early 2019, an Associate Professor in early 2022, and a tenured Associate Professor later in 2022, all within the same department.

Research: My research focuses on advanced modelling and automatic control of energy storage systems, particularly lithium-ion batteries. Much of my work is conducted in close collaboration with industry partners, such as Volvo, Scania, and ABB. As PI or Co-PI, I have received funding from the Swedish Research Council (including both Starting Grant and Project Grant), European Commission (e.g., BatCon, MoreSafe, SmartHEM, ULICBat, ProBat, TEAMING), Swedish Energy Agency (including four projects within the Vehicle Strategic Research and Innovation Programme), Swedish Innovation Agency, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (WASP program), and others.

Recognition and Service: I have been a recipient of recognitions, such as the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Best Vehicular Electronics Paper Award, IEEE TTE Prize Paper Award, IEEE VTS Climate Challenge Award, Nordic Energy Challenge Award, and selection to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA)'s 100 List. I have served as a review expert for research grants by the European Commission (e.g., for Horizon Europe CL5), US National Science Foundation, Academy of Finland, Cariplo Foundation in Italy, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), among others. I currently serve as an associate editor/editorial board member for journals, such as IEEE TVT, IEEE TTE, IEEE T-ITS, and Cell Press journal iScience.
