Résumé / Education

Study Experience

I am a man of vision. I have determined to conduct scientific research in aerospace engineering (AE) since high school. During my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have taken a lot of courses to solid my research background as much as I could. While mastering various knowledge and skills, I also attach great importance to developing my own vision, critical thinking and broad vision.

Higher level:

  • Dynamical system theory,
  • Linear algebra,
  • Matrix theory,
  • Mathematical modeling,
  • Optimal control,
  • Optimization theory and algorithm,
  • Stochastic process,

Undergraduate level:

  • Abstract algebra,
  • Differential geometry,
  • Functional analysis,
  • Partial differential equation,
  • Wavelet analysis,
  • Topology,
  • Discrete mathematics
  • Parallel computing
  • Network Population Analysis
  • Celestial dynamics,
  • Quantum mechanics,
  • Mathematical physics
  • Attitude and Orbit Dynamics,
  • Modern Control Theory,
  • Robust Control Theory and Applications,
  • Space Mission Analysis and System Design,

Only list some books that I have seriously spent a lot of time studying carefully.
