My research covers a variety of topics in automotive dynamic system and mobility cyber-physical system modeling, analysis, estimation and control. Specifically, my current work is focused on data-enhanced intelligent optimal control for connected and automated vehicles and advanced algorithms for transportation network cyber-physical systems. The ultimate goal is to design various levels of control utilizing all types of available data, to achieve an efficient, sustainable, economic, safe and convenient mobility system for the society.
Before joining the faculty of Robotics Engineering at WPI, I worked at Ford Motor Company as a data scientist in smart mobility and connected vehicle analytics.
