Who I Am
I grew up in Beijing and moved to the United States during high school to train at IMG Academy. Over the past decade, my journey has taken me across science, sport, and technology — shaping a mindset focused on translating deep technical work into products, policy, and performance that create real impact.
I am a PhD candidate in Geography and Environmental Engineering at Johns Hopkins University (Whiting School of Engineering), advised by Dr. Scot Miller. My dissertation — Quantifying Wetland Methane Fluxes in Arctic-Boreal North America — uses aircraft observations, atmospheric transport models, and Bayesian inverse modeling to constrain high-latitude greenhouse gas emissions. My research is supported by NASA ABoVE and an NSF NCAR Graduate Visitor Program Fellowship.
Prior to my PhD, I earned a Master of Health Science from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (Certificate in Risk Sciences and Public Policy) and a Bachelor's degree in Business Analytics (STEM) from George Washington University.
As a founder, I lead two companies. Advanced Universal Ventures commercializes DSIM, an event-driven power-electronics simulator that eliminates convergence failures and cuts simulation time by up to 95% — targeting EV, renewable-energy, data-center, and aerospace workflows. MigosMigo builds Rally, a cross-platform social app for racket-sport players worldwide, with partner matching, coach booking, community rankings, and gamified engagement.
Tennis remains central. I competed in NCAA Division I & III tennis, reached a national singles ranking of No. 23, and continue on the sideline: serving as tour coach on the ATP Tour — most recently guiding Mark Wallner and Jakob Schnaitter to the quarterfinals of the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters with a victory over the reigning Olympic champion.
Beyond the lab, court, and startup work, I create bilingual educational content on Bilibili and RedNote, reaching 7,000+ followers and 300,000+ views with 80+ original pieces on science, entrepreneurship, and sport.
Research & Practice Interests
Technology entrepreneurship and venture creation; commercialization of deep-tech research in power electronics, climate analytics, and AI; innovation in regulated industries — energy, healthcare, sustainability; design and scaling of social-impact ventures; AI-enabled product development and consumer technology platforms.
