About
Currently, I am employed as a Software Architect specializing in Control and AI systems at Volvo Car Corporation, based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
I received the Ph.D. degree in Robotics, Control & Artificial Intelligence from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, in 2022. Before that, I received the M.Sc. degree from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et d’Aérotechnique, Poitiers, France, in 2018, and the B.Eng. degree from the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China, in 2015, both in Aerospace Engineering.
Interests
- Robotic Systems: Development, modeling, simulation, and intelligent control of novel robots, smart sensors, and actuators.
- Artificial Intelligence: Safety and reliability of artificial intelligence in safety-critical systems, with a focus on autonomous driving.
- Systems Engineering: Model-based systems engineering, large language models for Requirements engineering.
News
- [Jan 1, 2025] Excited to share that I’ve started a new role as a Software Architect in Product Strategy and Architecture at Volvo Cars! Looking forward to driving optimal solutions from an E/E architecture perspective.
- [Dec 6, 2024] Our PhD grant application on ‘R-SAFE - Runtime Safety Monitors for Automotive ML-based Functions’ is approved by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). I’ll be the industrial PhD supervisor, driving efforts to ensure reliable and trustworthy AI in automotive applications.
- [Dec 3, 2024] Our paper ‘Optimal gait design for a soft quadruped robot via multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization’ is accepted for publication by Applied Soft Computing. In this paper, we introduce new approaches to efficiently adapt robot controllers to overcome Sim2Real gaps.
- [Oct 20, 2024] I am very glad to present our work on ‘Modeling, Simulation, and Control of a Soft Quadruped Robot’ at the IEEE International Conference on Universal Village as an invited speaker.
- [Jul 25, 2024] Our book 4D-Printed Robotic Materials, Sensors, and Actuators is now online!
- [Jun 26, 2024] The 4D printing roadmap is now available in Smart Materials and Structures journal. I concluded the current applications and shared my views on the future research directions of AI-based Control in 4D Printing in Section 12.
