Recruitment

I plan to supervise about 5 master's students per year in the fields of Control Science and Engineering (with research directions in distributed optimization and learning, multi-robot system control and optimization, intelligent control and decision-making, etc.). Our research group has a harmonious atmosphere. Every student will be provided with opportunities to attend international conferences or internships. I respect students' ideas and encourage independent thinking. Master's and undergraduate students who are passionate about research are welcome to contact me via email.

What I expect from you: Foundation/grades are not the most important factors. Instead, I value proactiveness, willingness to communicate, genuine interest in scientific research, and a diligent attitude toward learning and exploration.

What I can offer: A positive learning environment with vibrant academic discussions; sufficient research funding to cover reasonable research expenses; necessary financial support for conferences and academic exchanges; and guidance on research tools, techniques, and various experiences.
