Featured Publications
This article was published as a brief paper in Automatica. In this article, the fixed-time time-varying formation tracking control problem is addressed for heterogeneous linear multiagent systems under the directed communication graph. It is assumed that the Laplacian matrix associated with the communication graph is unavailable and that the system matrices of the leader are only available to its neighboring followers.
This article was published as a paper in IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems. The primary objective is to design a time-varying formation tracking protocol enabling the followers to form the desired time-varying formation while simultaneously tracking the output of the nonautonomous leader in a fixed time.

Hobbies
I am passionate about long-distance running 🏃♀️ and have participated in more than ten marathon events, receiving the Top 5 Female Student Runner honor at City University of Hong Kong. Besides running, I also enjoy badminton 🏸, hiking 🏔️, and photography 📷, which allows me to capture and share unique perspectives from both daily life and nature.
