Research Interests

Foundation Models

  • Multi-Agent Systems for Autonomous Driving: Leveraging LLM/VLM as powerful tools to build multi-agent collaborative decision-making systems for next-generation autonomous driving.
  • Large Pre-trained Models Task Adaptation: Adapting pre-trained LMs to specific tasks, such as autonomous driving and collaborative decision-making, better and more efficiently.

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.
  • Autonomous Driving Security: Designing defense methods crucial for secure CP as it expands the system's attack surface by leveraging information from other vehicles.
