👨🏻‍🎓 Biography

Wentao Wu was born in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang. He obtained the B.E. degree from Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin, China, in 2018, and the M.E. degree from Dalian Maritime University, Dalian, China, in 2021. I am currently pursing the Ph.D. degree in electronic information from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. From 2023 to 2024, I am a Visiting PhD Student at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Victoria, BC, Canada.

My current research interests include distributed control, safety-critical control, and game-based control with their applications to unmanned marine vehicles. I have published more than 10 papers at the top international journals with total google scholar citations .

I am open to research discussion and collaboration. Please feel free to reach out to me!
