I am Zihao Dong, a PhD Student at Northeastern University (Khoury College of Computer Science) since Sept. 2023 advised by Prof. Michael Everett.
Research Interest
My research focuses on the perception and planning for autonomy in complex (off-road) environments. Specifically, I am interested in efficient LiDAR-based localization that can robustly operate for long horizon missions, and the utilization of learning methods in model-based planning. To provide safety or robustness guarantee, I am working on the integration of uncertainty quantification techniques in these problem settings.
I received the BS in Computer Science from UCLA in 2023 with honor SUMMA CUM LAUDE (Top 5%).
