Kevin Yu

I am a System Design Engineer at Volvo Autonomous Solutions, working on designing the autonomous Volvo trucks. During my Ph.D. career I focused on high-level path planning for aerial and ground robots. I graduated from North Carolina State University with a dual degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I then went on to get my masters and Ph.D. at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. My interests include figuring out ways to optimize work flow using technology and autonomous systems as a whole.
