Jingqi Li



Hello! I'm Jingqi Li, a Peter O' Donnell Jr. Postdoctoral Fellow at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, UT Austin, where I work with Professor David Fridovich-Keil on game-theoretic control and learning. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2025, advised by Professor Claire Tomlin and Professor Somayeh Sojoudi.

Research interests:  

As autonomous systems scale to decentralized multi-agent settings, strategic interaction under information asymmetry becomes unavoidable. Yet principled computational foundations remain lacking.

I develop theoretical and algorithmic foundations for decentralized strategic autonomy, enabling agents to make provably safe and strategic decisions using only local information. I work at the intersection of dynamic games, control theory, and reinforcement learning, with applications in autonomous driving, air mobility, robotic house moving, and infrastructure-scale autonomy.
