Welcome!

My name is Di (pronounced “Dee”) and I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Princeton University. My research aims to develop small-scale robots that are simple, robust, and scalable, with the goal of deploying them in swarms to collaboratively address real-world applications.

I currently work in the awesome SSR lab with Prof. Radhika Nagpal. My research focuses on understanding the hydrodynamics and swarm formation within fish schools using a bioinspired robotic platform called BlueSwarm. Before Princeton, I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Amit Lal. My doctoral research focused on developing novel actuators and power supplies for the insect-sized robotic platform. Prior to that, I obtained a M.S. in Applied Physics from Cornell University and a B.S. in Physics from Beijing Normal University.
