Shuhao Qi | TU Eindhoven

I am a PhD candidate in the control system group at TU Eindhoven, focusing on trustworthy decision-making and motion control. Specifically, my research integrates temporal logic planning with safety-critical control to manage uncertainty and resolve deadlock in multi-agent interactions. The theoretical foundations of my work span control theory, game theory, formal methods, and reinforcement learning, and the application domains include autonomous driving and aerospace systems. I also have hands-on experience with a range of robotic platforms, including autonomous vehicles, legged robots, and rehabilitation robots.
