Hi there! I’m a PhD Researcher in Robotics and AI / Control Systems and Robotics at the University of Manchester, advised by Prof. Guido Herrmann and Prof. Alessandra Parisio. I am also mentored by Dr. Anthony Siming Chen. I expect to complete my PhD in December 2026. Before my PhD, I worked on ADAS software at Lotus Technology and battery-management-system software and validation at NIO.

My research interests include World Models, Model-Based Reinforcement Learning, Motion Planning, Model Predictive Control, and Safe Control. I build predictive autonomous systems that reason about action-dependent future interactions and make real-time decisions in dynamic multi-agent environments.

My recent work includes interaction-aware latent world models for crowd navigation, uncertainty-aware MPPI with CBF/CVaR safety mechanisms, and real-time multi-obstacle safety filtering. Across the reported studies, the best evaluated configuration reached 99.9% navigation success, improved OOD success by 4.8 percentage points, and reduced collision rate from 7.8% to 3.8% with a 9.30 ms safety-filter runtime.
