About Me
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, conducting research at the UW ARC Lab, under the guidance of Prof. Xiangru Xu. I earned my MSE in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor in 2019, where I was mentored by Prof. Necmiye Ozay and Prof. Jean-Baptiste Jeannin. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Energy and Power Engineering at Peking University, with a double major in Economics from the National School of Development, in 2017.
I specialize in the theoretical analysis and application of autonomous and controlled systems and familiar with various programming languages, including MATLAB, Python, and C. My research focuses on control systems, incorporating optimization and machine learning techniques. The goal of my research is to develop principled analysis and control methodologies for building trustworthy autonomous intelligent systems.
I am actively seeking full-time opportunities beginning in early 2026. Feel free to contact me at yuhao.zhang2[at]wisc[dot]edu for connections and collaboration!
