About me
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania working with Prof. Vijay Kumar. I received my Ph.D. degree at Virginia Tech under the supervision of Prof. Pratap Tokekar in RAAS Lab. I received my Master's degree in Automation from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, where I was advised by Prof. Shaoyuan Li. Before that I received my B.S. degree in Automation from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
My research focuses on enabling security, trustworthiness, and
long-term autonomy in robotics and autonomous systems. I have worked in related areas such as multi-robot coordination, approximation algorithms, combinatorial optimization, deep learning, model predictive control, and resilient and risk-aware decision making. My long-term goal is to investigate multi-robot security and trustworthy autonomy when robots use data-driven machine learning and deep learning techniques. Find out more.
