Rui Chen Prospectus Defense

Two days ago, Rui Chen defended his Thesis proposal on Control and Optimization Methods for problems in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). He began introducing ITS and it impacts on society by motivating the audience with the fact that the cost of commuter delays has risen by 260% over the past 25 years (Urban Mobility Report, […]

Congratulations to Dr. Nan Zhou on his successful Doctoral Thesis Defense.

During his time at BU and at CODES Lab, Dr. Zhou’s research focused on robotic motion planning, control, and optimization with applications ranging from a single robotic controller to large-scale interconnected autonomous vehicles. In particular, he used Dynamic Programming to uncover parametric policies for the Persistent Monitoring problem and Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis to learn its optimal parameter. He tackled […]
