About Me:

I am currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Traffic & Transportation Engineering, Central South University. I earned my Ph.D in Civil and Environmental Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) in 2025, advised by Prof. Shu-Chien HSU. Before my time at PolyU, I obtained my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Transportation Engineering from Central South University in 2021 and 2018, respectively.

Research Interest:

Transportation-energy nexus

Vehicle-to-grid

Carbon accounting
