Fangjian Li

Ph.D. from Clemson University

I received my Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering Department at Clemson University (May 2022), and my master’s degree in Automotive Engineering at Clemson. My research focuses on the human-aware autonomous driving algorithms, i.e., how the presence of human drivers can affect or help the autonomous driving systems. The techniques involved in my research are (inverse) reinforcement learning, imitation learning, optimal control, and Bayesian inference. I am currently an engineer specializing in prediction and behavior planning for autonomous driving systems.
