I’m a Ph.D. candidate at the Aerial Robotics Group, CHENG KAR-SHUN Robotics Institute, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Shaojie Shen (沈劭劼). I received my B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Automation from the Integrated Navigation and Intelligent Navigation (ININ) Lab, Beijing Institute of Technology, in 2015 and 2018, supervised by Prof. Yi Yang (杨毅). My research includes motion prediction, decision-making and motion planning for autonomous driving.
