About me
Personal Information
Aloha! I am currently a Ph.D Candidate in the Intelligent Positioning and Navigation Lab (IPNL), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, advised by Dr. Li-Ta Hsu and Dr. Weisong Wen. I was also a visiting student in the ARCO Lab at McMaster University, advised by Dr. Matthew Giamou. I received my master’s and bachelor’s degrees from the GREAT Lab, Wuhan University, advised by Dr. Xingxing Li.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Navigation and Positioning, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2023-present, in writing phase)
- M.Sc. in Engineering, Wuhan University (2020-2023) - Guidance, Navigation and Control
- B.C.s in Engineering, Wuhan University (2016-2020) - Navigation Engineering
Research Interests
My research interests focus on three interconnected areas:
Robust Navigation: Address robust navigation problems with complementary sensors (GNSS/IMU/Odometer/Camera/LiDAR/RADAR) through tightly-coupled fusion techniques.
Trust-worthy Optimization: Design certifiably optimal, efficient, and robust estimators. The techniques employed include Kalman filtering, factor graph optimization (FGO), convex optimization, and deep learning.
Certifiable Navigation: Relax FGO into convex problems and provide globally optimal certificates for navigation tasks including localization, mapping, planning, and control.
