Welcome
Welcome to the website of Urban Low-altitude TRAffic (ULTRA) Lab!
I am a professor with the Civil Aviation University of China. I am interested in applied mathematcs methods, like operations research, probabilistic reasoning and artificial intelligence, and their application in transportation systems.
My research works mainly span in air traffic systems, including both coventional air traffic management, and emerging air mobilities like urban air mobility and urban UAS traffic.
I received his Ph.D. degree from School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, and my Master’s and Bachelor’s degress from Tianjin University.
