Zhiqi (Lorena) Tang is a Digital Futures 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.
Before this, she was a postdoctoral researcher with the Institute for Systems and Robotics and held the position of Invited Assistant Professor within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering 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 the estimation, control, and decision-making in multi-agent systems, with applications in Robotics and Transportation Systems.
