About Me

I am a Professor and doctoral supervisor at the Hangzhou International Innovation Institute, Beihang University, and was selected for the National Overseas High-Level Young Talents Program. I received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2011 and 2013, and the Ph.D. degree from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2018. I was then a researcher at NTU and a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL, Switzerland, and a Professor at Shanghai University from 2022 to 2026. My research lies at the intersection of control, learning and robotics, with applications to spacecraft, intelligent unmanned systems and robots.

Research Interests

• Networked Control Systems: control and estimation over imperfect communication channels, consensus of multi-agent systems, and resilient multi-agent control.

• Learning and Control: neural networks for control with stability guarantees, control-theoretic design of neural networks, data-driven control and finite-sample analysis.

• Robot Navigation and Manipulation: robust visual odometry, language-guided outdoor navigation, and robot manipulation.

See Publication for representative papers in each direction.
