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 employment starting in 2025. Feel free to contact me at yuhao.zhang2[at]wisc[dot]edu for connections and collaboration!
