Education

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL

B.S. in Automotive Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China

Research Interests

My research aims to bring innovations to precision engineering by pushing the limit of precision manufacturing and expanding the boundary of intelligent metrology by deep learning-enabled computer vision technologies. My group works to enhance fundamental understandings of new process mechanics and principles; achieve technological advances in machine tool design and control; and explore novel applications in advanced manufacturing.
