About Me!

I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. I work with Dr. Yezhou Yang at Active Perception Group(APG).

I am interested in active perception related to cooperative and non-cooperative Human-Robot Interaction(HRI) tasks. Under non-cooperative interactions, we develop autonomous pursuit strategies to capture an evading agent in a pursuit-evasion game using predictive models.

To enable safe and cooperative autonomous behaviors on the road, we develop courteous driving agents that emphasize self-loss and fellow agents' loss. We also analyze the safety at traffic intersections using the infrastructure cameras. Currently working in collaboration with a bunch of cool people from RISE Lab @ ASU and Institute of Automated Mobility
