Meng's Biography

Bio

In January 2023, I received the Distinguished Young Scholars of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Overseas).

In March 2022, I joined College of Engineering (CoE) at PKU as an Assistant Professor.

In May 2018, I joined Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence (BCAI) at Renningen as a research scientist, specialized in Reinforcement Learning and AI-based Planning.

In March 2017, I came back to KTH as a Postdoc associate, working with Prof. Dimos V. Dimarogonas.

In March 2016, I joined Duke University, as a Postdoc associate, working with Prof. Michael M. Zavlanos.

During 2017-2018, I received EuRobotics George Giralt PhD Award 2017 - Finalist and European Embedded Control Institute (EECI) PhD Award 2017 - Finalist in recognition of my PhD Thesis work.

In January 2016, I received my Doctoral degree from KTH.

During April-July, 2015, I worked at GRITS Lab of Georgia Tech, Atlanta, as a visiting scholar. Supervised by Prof. Magnus Egerstedt.

In August 2011, I joined the Automatic Control Lab at the School of Electrical Engineering in KTH as a graduate student. My supervisors are Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson and Prof. Dimos V. Dimarogonas. My research mainly relates to distributed control of multi-agent networks.

In June 2011, I received the M.Sc. degree within the programme System, Control and Robotics from KTH.

In August 2006, I became a Bachelor student in Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), three years after which I was selected as an exchange student to KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

I was born in December 1988 at Hubei, China.
