Bio
I am currently an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) at the University of Delaware (UD), where I am leading the Robot Perception and Navigation Group (RPNG), which is a key part of UD Center for Autonomous and Robotic Systems (CARS). I am also the Principal Scientist at Meituan USA. I was a Postdoctoral Associate (2012-2014) working in the Marine Robotics Group of John Leonard at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Prior to MIT, I was working with Stergios Roumeliotis in the Multiple Autonomous Robotic Systems (MARS) Lab at the Digital Technology Center (DTC) and the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota (UMN), where I obtained my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in computer science in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Before that, I had been a research assistant for two years in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where I worked with Ahmad Rad, after receiving my B.S. degree in automation (electrical engineering) from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, China.

Research
My research interests focus on state estimation and spatial perception for robotics and XR, including probabilistic sensing, localization, mapping, perception and planning of autonomous ground, aerial and underwater vehicles, as well as mobile devices:
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
Visual-inertial navigation system (VINS)
Aided inertial navigation
Moving object (target) tracking and prediction
Sensor calibration and fusion
Multimodal perception
3D scene understanding
Spatial intelligence
Embodied AI
