Biography
I am a PostDoctor in computer science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I received my doctor's degree in Ecology from Lanzhou University in 2025, master's degree in Ecology from Lanzhou University in 2021, and bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2018.
Research Interests
My research interests include theoretical ecology, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. In particular, I am interested in using reinforcement learning to solve a variety of complex problems, including traffic signal control, plant growth control and plant interactions.
