Hongchao Zhao

Welcome to my homepage. My name is Hongchao Zhao (赵虹超). I am a researcher in robotics and autonomous driving, with interest in state estimation and motion planning. I got my PhD from Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). My supervisor is Prof. Yun-Hui Liu. I was also with the CUHK T Stone Robotics Institute. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I received B.Eng. in Mechatronic Engineering from Central South University, Changsha, China.

You can find my detailed research and engineering works in Projects, and you can find me via Contact.
