I lead the Agile Sensing and Intelligence Group (ASIG) working in the field of autonomous systems and mobile robotics.

We constantly look for strong candidates for PhD/postdoc/internship/thesis. Shoot me an email with a brief intro if interested, and we will start from this! If you intend to apply for external funds (e.g., CSC) and join us, please directly contact me.

I am tenure-track assistant professor working at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. I also collaborate closely with Fredrik Gustafsson at Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University in Sweden, where I was a postdoctoral researcher from 2022-10 to 2024-04. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Anthropomatics and Robotics, Department of Informatics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, where I obtained my PhD degree in computer science in 2021 under the supervision of Uwe D. Hanebeck. I received my MSc degree in Automation Engineering in 2017 from RWTH Aachen University in Germany, including a master’s thesis completed at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, and my bachelor degrees in 2014 from Tsinghua University (Wikipedia) in China.

My major research interests lie in agile sensing and trustworthy inference in the general domain of understanding physical and cyber-physical systems, with applications to sensor fusion, robotic perception, and learning dynamical systems. I am also interested in developing planning and control methods for uncertain dynamical systems and have the ambition to methodologically unify these aspects through new representations and models with real-world validation.
