**I am on the 23-24 academic job market for positions in sustainable aviation and data-driven aerospace engineering.

Welcome to my website! Originally from Shenzhen, China, I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin).

I obtained my Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering and M.S. in Operations Research from Georgia Institute of Technology, where I also worked as a researcher in the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL). Previously, I received my B.S. with major in Aerospace Engineering and minor in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC). During my happy undergrad time in the midwest cornfield, I spent one semester as an exchange student at National University of Singapore (NUS). Before attending graduate school, I had a gap time and spent two stints, first at IST Austria (ISTA) as a research intern and after that at Banco Santander Hong Kong as a sales & trading intern. 

Fascinated by the beauty of aircraft as an engineering product and global air transportation system for its role of physically connecting people around the world, studying aerospace engineering has been my childhood dream. My general research area lies at the interface of aeronautics and computational sustainability. I apply advanced analytics approaches to design, integrate, and analyze sustainable aerospace systems with emerging technologies and concepts, considering environmental sustainability, efficiency, safety, and equity. My research interests are methodologies in statistics, machine learning, and operations research, with applications in advanced air mobility, air transportation, aircraft systems, and urban systems.
