Researching the systems behind safe autonomous mobility.
We develop the mathematical, perceptual, and control foundations required to transition autonomous driving from isolated neural network models to provably safe, deployable vehicle software.
Autonomous Perception
Robust environmental representation across surround cameras, solid-state LiDAR, and millimeter-wave radar under heavy adverse weather and dense urban occlusion.
Adverse Weather Occupancy Grids via Multi-Modal Temporal Voxels
Semantic Road Geometry Extraction Without Pre-Mapped HD Anchors
Prediction & Agent Forecasting
Modeling uncertainty over extended time horizons, multi-agent game-theoretic road dynamics, and pedestrian intent under unscripted traffic conditions.
Multi-Modal Agent Trajectory Forecasting via Latent Graph Diffusions
Occluded Pedestrian Crossing Intent Recognition with Head Pose Priors
Equilibrium Solutions for Highway Bottleneck Ingestion & Merge Negotiation
Expanded Moving-Turning Stratum: Simple Rule vs Neural Network
Evidence of Absence: Heading Change & Neighbor Cues in the Last 2 Seconds
History-Only Tree vs Simple Rule: Milder Arcs on Already-Bending Turns
Planning & Predictive Vehicle Control
Synthesizing collision-free, dynamically feasible trajectories with formal safety guarantees and real-time sub-millisecond MPC solvers.
Control Barrier Functions for Deterministic Collision Avoidance in Unstructured Roads
Sub-Millisecond Non-Linear Model Predictive Control for Highway Evasive Steering
Minimum Risk Maneuver (MRM) Synthesis Under Sensor Degradation Cascades
Localization & SLAM
Sub-decimeter semantic localization operating reliably across urban tunnels, multi-level parking garages, and GPS-deprived canyons.
Vehicle Intelligence & OS
Deterministic microkernel architectures, AUTOSAR Adaptive bindings, zero-copy IPC, and OTA resilience pipelines for mass-market EVs.
Safety & Formal Validation
Scenario-based digital twin validation, ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance cases, and adversarial simulation stress frameworks.
Research that moves from benchmark models to real-world vehicle software.
We validate every algorithmic release against hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) dynamometer rigs, CAN/Ethernet timing jitter limits, and rigorous safety barrier conditions before code reaches fleet vehicles.
