Brief Biography
Brief Biography
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Robotics & AI, UCL Computer Science. Prior to this position, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford supervised by Prof. Marta Kwiatkowska (August 2022 to October 2024). I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology within the Division of Decision and Control Systems supervised by Prof. Dimos V. Dimarogonas (April 2021 to July 2022). I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Feb. 2021, my M.Sc. degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering and B.Sc. degree in Automation from Wuhan University (China) in 2016 and 2013, respectively. In November 2016, I was selected for KTH's Program of Excellence. I was a Student Best Paper Award finalist at the 2020 American Control Conference in Denver. I was selected as Future Digileader by Digital Futures, Sweden in 2023. I was selected as a DAAD AInet fellow, Germany in 2023.
Research Interests
Research Interests
I am interested in general the planning and control of multi-agent systems, human-robot interactive systems, with applications to intelligent robots. My research aims at developing scalable and provably safe algorithms that enable robots and/or humans to complete high-level tasks in complex and uncertain environments. My research area includes but not limited to:
automated verification and synthesis
human-robot collaboration
motion planning and control synthesis for multi-agent/robot systems
formal methods
reachability analysis
