Human-centered and Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (HEART)

"HAL 9000 made the 'logical' choice—to kill the crew." This moment from 《2001: A Space Odyssey》 reveals a chilling truth: AI without alignment, or trust can be dangerous. My vision is to give technology a HEART—developing human-centered and trustworthy autonomous systems that truly understand, adapt to, and collaborate with humans. This is the key to building a future transportation systems where humans and AI-powered agents coexist in harmony.

Research Topic

1.1 Multi-Agent Interaction

Developing an open-world simulation platform that supports unified simulation of diverse human and agents with realistic physical and social interactions. This platform enables comprehensive testing and validation of autonomous systems in complex, dynamic environments.

Technology Transfer

I am deeply passionate about bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world impact. Before beginning my Ph.D. journey, I founded two technology companies in China, aiming to transform my research findings into practical solutions. Through this experience, I had the opportunity to collaborate with industry professionals and gain valuable insights into the innovation ecosystem. Encouragingly, the companies attracted over 3 million RMB in potential investment from leading institutions such as Yueke Securities and CITIC Securities. These experiences reinforced my belief that when scientific discoveries move beyond the lab and into society, they can generate meaningful and lasting value.
