Research Interests
Multi-Agent Autonomous Driving
- Multi-Agent Collaborative Perception (CP): Overcoming limitations of single-agent perception systems like occlusion and sensing range by leveraging information from multiple vehicles.
- Multi-Agent Autonomous Driving Security: Designing defense methods crucial for secure CP as it expands the system's attack surface by leveraging information from other vehicles.
Foundation Models
- LLM Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) and Task Adaptation: Adapting LLMs to specific tasks, such as autonomous driving and collaborative decision-making, better and more efficiently.
- LLM based Multi-Agent Systems: Leveraging LLM/VLM as powerful tools to build multi-agent collaborative decision-making systems for next-generation autonomous driving.
