Transportation Systems × Optimization & Decision-Making × Networked Autonomy

I study how modeling, optimization, simulation, and learning can support coordinated decision-making in complex transportation and autonomous mobility systems.

Current academic experienceUC Berkeley
Undergraduate educationTongji University
01 · SELECTED RESEARCH

Computational tools for reliable, coordinated mobility systems.

Across rail control, metro networks, and cooperative perception, I focus on system modeling, optimization, learning, and decision-making under real operational constraints.

ONGOING THESIS · TONGJI UNIVERSITY Undergraduate thesis · supervised by Associate Professor Xuemei Zhou

Cooperative Multi-UAV Delivery Scheduling & Route Planning

Ongoing work on coordinated scheduling and routing for multi-UAV delivery systems, with an emphasis on system-level optimization, multi-agent coordination, and last-mile logistics.

02 · RESEARCH DIRECTION

Optimization and decision-making for networked mobility systems.

I am especially interested in how sensing, planning, control, infrastructure, and operational decisions can be designed together rather than optimized in isolation.

01

Transportation Systems Optimization

Network performance, operations, reliability, and constrained system-level decision-making.

02

Networked & Autonomous Mobility

Interconnected agents, cooperative systems, and future mobility architectures.

03

Multi-Agent Coordination

Cooperative decision-making, routing and scheduling, and interaction under system constraints.

04

Simulation, Planning & Control

Scenario-based evaluation, co-simulation, algorithm design, and system-level control.
