Zhiqi (Lorena) Tang is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Division of Decision and Control Systems of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, working with Prof. Jonas Mårtensson and Prof. Karl H. Johansson. She will join the Control Systems and Robotics Group at The University of Manchester as a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor) starting in Fall 2025.
Before this, she was a postdoctoral researcher with the Institute for Systems and Robotics at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Portugal. She earned a double Ph.D. in Automatic Control and Robotics from IST, University of Lisbon, Portugal, and I3S-CNRS, Université Côte d'Azur, France, in 2021. She obtained her B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Macau, Macau SAR, China, in 2015.
Her research interests focus on cooperative estimation and control, networked multi-agent systems, and nonlinear dynamical systems, with applications in Robotics and Transportation Systems.
