I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Distributed Autonomous Systems and Control (DASC) Lab at the University of Michigan (UMich), directed by Prof. Dimitra Panagou. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in Unmanned Systems Research (USR) Group at Hong Kong Centre For Logistics Robotics (HKCLR), and a Honorary Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) at 2023. I received my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at CUHK in 2023, advised by Professor Ben M. Chen.
Research Interests
My research centers on multi-agent coordination, bridging theory and practice to realize intelligent autonomous systems with provable safety guarantees. My current work includes:
-
Coverage control in mobile sensor networks
-
Motion planning in dense, uncertain, and dynamic environments
-
Safe reinforcement learning for safety-critical systems
-
Multi-agent pursuit–evasion games
I am actively seeking new job opportunities. Feel free to reach out via email if you’re interested!
