About me
I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Machine Learning at the Department of Computer Science and a member of Centre for AI Fundamentals and Centre for Robotics and AI, The University of Manchester, UK. I lead teaching in UKRI AI CDT on Decision Making for Complex Systems. I am an ELLIS Scholar in the ELLIS Unit Manchester. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor in Robot Dynamics at the Department of Cognitive Robotics and co-director of Delft SELF AI Lab, TU Delft, Netherlands and a Project Leader at DJI, China. I am an Area Chair or Associate Editor of IEEE RAL (outstanding AE award), ACM TOPML, CoRL, L4DC, ICRA, IROS. I received my degrees from Imperial College London, University of Science and Technology of China and Harbin Institute of Technology.
I have a broad interest in (multi)robot control using Bayesian machine learning and the principles of dynamic control.
