Vice President, Robotics and Autonomous Systems @ MathWorks
About
The mastermind behind drones soaring the skies, I wield code as wings and MATLAB as a rudder, taming algorithms to conquer urban airspace. From Harbin Institute of Technology’s electrical engineering roots to Georgia Tech’s aerospace mastery, I fuse math and engineering, obsessed with optimizing paths, blending sensors, and igniting multi-agent systems. Thriving on complex challenges, I sculpt the future at the nexus of unmanned systems and AI, dreaming of reshaping logistics and air traffic. Thinking beyond boundaries, chasing ultimate efficiency, every line of my code paves the way for a safe, streamlined tomorrow
