Biography
Shiyu Zhao is currently an Associate Professor at the School of Engineering at Westlake University and Director of the Intelligent Unmanned Systems Laboratory. He received the BEng and MEng degrees from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore. Before he joined Westlake University, he was a Lecturer in Aerospace Systems at the University of Sheffield, UK. His research interests lie in the theories of estimation, control, and reinforcement learning and their applications to intelligent robotic systems especially multi-robot systems and micro aerial vehicles. His new textbook “Mathematical Foundations of Reinforcement Learning” will be jointly published by Tsinghua University Press and Springer Nature Press in 2024.
