Ciyuan Zhang

Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, where I am working with Professor Philip E. Paré on the distributed estimation and control of epidemics over networks. I have been working as a graduate teaching assistant at Purdue and developed course materials for ECE 695, ECE 201, ECE 20001 as well as ECE 301.

I am also working with Professor Borja Peleato on information transmission over computer communication networks.

Prior to Purdue, I obtained my Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University, where I worked as a research assistant in the CISL lab with Professor Peter Kinget and Mathew Bajor.

Before Columbia, I studied Electrical Engineering at Xi'an Jiaotong University and received the Siyuan Scholarship during my senior year.

I was born and raised in the beautiful coastal city of Dalian(大連).
