Bio [中文主页]

I am a faculty member with College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Shanghai Research Institute for Intelligent Autonomous Systems, Tongji University. I was a Wallenberg-NTU presidential postdoctoral fellow at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, host by Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson. I did my PhD at Nanyang Technological University, where I was advised by Prof. Lihua Xie and funded by the STE-NTU Corp Lab. Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor degree at Tianjin University, where I was advised by Prof. Jian S. Dai and Prof. Rongjie Kang. I work on both swarm-level intelligence, focusing on model/learning-based navigation for multi-robot system, and also individual-level intelligence, focusing on design, modelling and control for single robot.
