I'm currently looking for one or two PhD students to join the team. If you are i) serious about doing research on connected and automated vehicles and related issues; ii) self-motivated to pursue excellence; and iii) ambitious and open-minded, please feel free to contact me. You are also encouraged to contact any of my former and/or current PhD students for their experience of working with me.
To PhD students in China interested in visiting my group with a CSC scholarship: Thank you very much for your interest in my research. Due to the high volume of inquiries, I am unable to respond to most of such emails. My sincere apologies. Please note that I only accept visiting PhD students who have a proven record of conducting high-quality research and are willing to stay in my group for at least 2 years. Thank you for your understanding.
