About

I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, supervised by Prof. Huang Hailong. My research focuses on Robotics, exploring advanced planning and control algorithms for robots.

Previously, I worked as a Motion Planning Engineer at BYD Ltd. in the Autonomous Driving Unit, where I developed the E4APA Parking Assistance system for 4WD vehicles. I also contributed to the MPilot Self-Driving Project at Momenta Tech Ltd. for Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. I hold an M.S. in Control Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, where my research focused on vehicle motion planning in both on-road and open-space environments.
