About me
Welcome to my personal website. I am an associate professor in the School of Artificial Intelligence at Beihang University. Before joining Beihang University, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer Science at University of Oxford, working with Prof. Marta Kwiatkowska from Mar. 2021 to Jun. 2024. I obtained my PhD degree in the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University in Jan. 2021. My PhD advisor was Prof. Yisheng Zhong. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Automation from Beihang University in 2015. I was a visiting scholar with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara from Feb. 2019 to Feb. 2020, supervised by Prof. Francesco Bullo. My current research focuses on differential games, neuro-symbolic stochastic games and multi-agent reinforcement learning. The applications include neural-symbolic systems, and multi-uav/robot cooperation and competition.
