Zhenyi Yuan, Ph.D. |
Short Biography
I am currently a researcher affiliated with CUHK Information Engineering department, conducting research on power systems control with Prof. Changhong Zhao. I earned the Ph.D. degree in Engineering Sciences (Mechanical Engineering) from UC San Diego, where I was advised by Prof. Jorge Cortés. During my Ph.D., I worked closely with academic researchers from NREL, CUHK, UW Madison, Oxford, ETH Zürich, etc., and was involved in several industrial projects collaborating with NREL and TotalEnergies (USA). Prior to Ph.D., I was enrolled in the successive undergraduate and postgraduate program at the Honors School of Harbin Institute of Technology, where I received the B.S. (w/ honors) and M.S. degrees in Control Science and Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Ligang Wu.
