Research

My research focuses on swarm systems and swarm control. Additionally, I have participated in collaborative research on applications such as cyborg insects, drones, and cells.

I am currently particularly interested in group decision-making, reasoning, and game theory; decision-making and planning for autonomous driving; and embodied AI in robotics.
