About me
I received my Ph.D. degree from the School of Computer Science, Sun Yat-sen University, under the supervision of Prof. Kai Huang.
Prior to that, I received both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Control Science and Engineering from the School of Automation, Northwestern Polytechnical University, under the supervision of Prof. Jinwen Hu.
My research focuses on optimization and planning for robotic systems. I am particularly interested in developing optimization-based methods for multi-robot coordination, task allocation, scheduling, and autonomous decision-making.
More information about my research can be found in my GitHub repositories.
