Hey, I’m a third year Ph.D. student at Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Laboratory, University of California, Riverside. It is my honor to be advised by Prof. Jiachen Li.

My research interest lies in the confluence of autonomous agents and multiagent systems, focusing on leveraging efficient multi-agent communication to develop robust algorithms for collaboratively solving perception, prediction, and decision-making challenges in real-world scenarios.

IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2026
  • A vision–language–action (VLA) model that aligns with both long-term driving patterns and real-time preference instructions.
  • GRPO-based post-training of the VLA model using a residual decoder and adaptive style rewards.
  • Comprehensive closed-loop evaluations and user studies.

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L), 2025
  • A practical, latency-robust framework for cooperative motion prediction, which leverages the information shared by multiple CAVs to enhance perception and motion prediction performance.
  • Address the unified problem where CAVs share information in both perception and prediction modules.
  • Extensive experiments and ablation studies on the OPV2V and V2V4Real to demonstrate the effectiveness.
