Bio

Hi, my name is Guang. I'm a robotics researcher from Boston, specializing in safe control and learning for autonomous systems.

My work focuses on creating safety-critical motion controllers and applying reinforcement learning in a multi-agent setting. I am currently visiting the UK and conducting research at the University of Cambridge.
