About Me

Hi! I am Junan, a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Luca Furieri and Prof. Paul Goulart in the University of Oxford. I previously finished my master study in Robotics, Systems and Control program in ETH Zürich in 2025, and my bachelor study in Beihang University in 2022.

My research interst lies in optimization and control, with a current focus on acceleration for structured convex optimization solvers with theoretical guarantees. In my leisure time, I like travelling by driving (have already driven more than 15,000 km), swimming and singing.

Research Interests

• Convex Optimization and First-Order Methods: ADMM, operator splitting, OSQP, quadratic programming, monotone operator methods.
• Control and Decision Making: model predictive control, differentiable optimization.

News

• [Apr. 2026] Our paper Learning Over-Relaxation Policies for ADMM with Convergence Guarantees is now available on arXiv.
• [Oct. 2025] I am now a PhD student in the University of Oxford!
• [May. 2025] I finish my master thesis in IfA in ETH Zürich, and obtain my master’s degree! A big thank you to Riccardo Zuliani, Dr. Efe Balta, and Prof. John Lygeros for your generous guidance along my project!
• [Aug. 2024] My internship paper “Enhancing Port Automation: A Novel Object Detection Pipeline for Container Ship Bays” is accepted by 2024 IEEE Sensors Conference! Thanks for those who helped and guided me through the way!
