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 focuses on trustworthy multi-agent autonomy, with an emphasis on bridging the gap between the strong empirical performance of modern learning-based methods and the formal guarantees provided by control theory. Specifically, my work spans: (1) safety-critical control for single- and multi-agent systems and (2) high-level decision-making with performance guarantees.
