Biography
From June 2010 to July 2012, I worked at Shanghai Area Control Center as an Air Traffic Controller (We guide you home!). In the summers of 2014 and 2015, I was an intern at Ford Research and Advanced Engineering, Dearborn MI. From January 2016 to August 2017, I worked at General Motors in the NextGen Powertrain Control group, Milforrd MI. Since August 2017, I have been an Assistant Professor in the ... Department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University. My main research interests include Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles, Intelligent Transportation System, Reinforcement Learning, Vehicle Dynamics, and Optimal Control.
