I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, joining the Mitlin Group in Fall 2026. My research interests span thermal and fluid systems and sustainable energy materials, with a particular focus on batteries and fuel cells for applications such as fast-charging EVs. Outside the lab, I enjoy watching Formula 1, FIFA and the Premier League sports, as well as cooking Chinese food. I’m also a Rock ’N’ Roll enthusiast and play both guitar and keyboard. In my free time, you’ll often find me hanging out with friends, playing bands, or going to art museums and concerts.
