I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Peking University, China, in 2016. I am currently an associate professor, doctoral supervisor of Computer Science at Dalian University of Technology, China. I am a senior member of CCF, winner of Liaoning Youth Science and Technology Award in 2023 (a total of 41 people in the province), selected for the 4th China Association for Science and Technology Youth Talent Support Project (285 people nationwide, 5.9% in computer science), and selected as Dalian Youth Science and Technology Star.

My research interest includes Multi-agent Decision Making and Optimization. I have published more than 50 papers in international journals and conferences, including IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems and Automatica.
