Biography:

Yanmao received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Arizona in 2022, advised by Dr. Ming Li, FIEEE. He was a graduate research assistant advised by Dr. Jing Deng, FIEEE when he was in the Department of Computer Science (Alumni Highlight) of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, from which he received his CS Master's degree in 2017. His Bachelor's degree in Network Engineering was conferred by Dalian University of Technology in 2015.

Yanmao's research focuses on the robustness of autonomous systems and machine learning, especially their intersection. That is, he is interested in adversarial machine learning, and how the error can affect the decision-making (for example, perception and planning), and finally, how to improve the robustness of the entire decision-making system under such uncertainty.
