Physics-Informed Forecasting | Urban Thermal Risk | Edge AI Optimization
I build physics-informed forecasting systems for clean energy, grid reliability, and city-scale thermal-stress early warning. These models operate under edge constraints such as NVIDIA Jetson Nano while still delivering high-fidelity short-horizon forecasts of wind speed, electrical load, and near-surface air temperature under extreme regimes. My peer-reviewed publications include 10+ papers (6 first-author), with state-of-the-art error reductions such as 69.2% lower extreme-condition temperature error in dense urban cores and multi-hour wind predictions that outperform recent deep-learning baselines under strict memory and latency budgets.
This work supports clean and reliable energy access (SDG 7), sustainable and heat-resilient cities (SDG 11), and climate action and adaptation (SDG 13).

Central South University · Sept 2020 – Present
I design physics-informed sequence models for wind, load, and near-surface temperature forecasting, targeting grid reliability and urban thermal-stress early warning. This includes regime-adaptive focal losses, adaptive physics penalties, attention-equipped hybrid recurrent / convolutional temporal modules, and hardware-aware optimization for Jetson-class devices.
I led research end-to-end from problem formulation to publication, producing 6 first-author papers. The work aligns with a provincial Key R&D program on wind energy and grid optimization (Project 2020WK2007).
