📌 Short Biography

I am currently a faculty member at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (NJUPT), where I conduct research on safety-critical control and learning for autonomous robotic systems. I received my Ph.D. from the College of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Hunan University, and the National Engineering Research Center of Robot Visual Perception and Control Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Zhiqiang Miao and Prof.Yaonan Wang. During my Ph.D., I was awarded the China Scholarship Council (CSC) scholarship and conducted joint research with Prof. Peng Shi at the Advanced Autonomous Systems Laboratory, Adelaide University, Australia. My research focuses on robotic control and the cooperative and safety-critical control of multi-robot systems, with the goal of enabling intelligent systems to operate more safely and reliably in complex environments.

🤖 Research Interests
