Background

I am a DPhil (PhD) Candidate and a member of Control Group in Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, UK. My supervisor is Prof. Antonis Papachristodoulou. I am supported by the Clarendon Scholarship and the Jason Hu Scholarship. Before joining SySOS group in Oxford, I obtained my B.Eng degree and M. Eng from Department of Automotive Engineering, Tsinghua University, China, in 2013 and 2015, respectively. My previous research topics were on distributed control of dynamical system over networks, with applications on vehicular platoon. I'm also interested in optimal control theory, including Model Predictive Control and their applications on vehicles. My current research topic is on the analysis and control of multi-agent system by employing chordal sparsity.

Abstract
Vehicular platoon has potential to singnificantly mitigate traffic congestion, enhance road safety and improve fuel economy. Many existing research only focus on designning tools to analyze a specific vehicular platoon with single communication topology, which lacks a general framework to handle platoons with different information flow topologies. To address aforementioned issue, this thesis proposes a four-component framework for vehicular platoon, and within such framework the closed-loop stability and robust performance are discussed for linear homogenesous platoons. Besides, this thesis further introduces a design process of distributed model predictive control (DMPC) to deal with nonlinear heterogeneous platoons. The results in this thesis can provide tools and lay foundation to address performance analysis and controller design for vechculiar platoons with different information flow topologies.
