My name is Wei Xiao (Chinese name: 肖伟). I am currently a Postdoc Associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of prof. Daniela Rus. I got my Ph.D. degree at Boston University under the supervision of prof. Christos G. Cassandras and prof. Calin Belta. My researches focus on control theory (Lyapunov methods, optimal control, safety guarantee, multi-agent control) and machine learning with applications to robotics and autonomous driving.
