【导师简介】
Dr. Lifeng Zhou 在2022年秋季加入德雷塞尔大学电子与计算机工程系担任助理教授。在此之前，他在宾夕法尼亚大学 (University of Pennsylvania) GRASP 实验室, 随 Dr. Vijay Kumar 从事博士后研究。他于2020年在弗吉尼亚理工 (Virginia Tech) 电子与计算机工程系 (ECE) 取得博士学位。Dr. Zhou 致力于设计稳健、可靠的协同策略, 以实现多机器人和自主系统在易发生故障、敌对和不确定性环境中的安全性和可信赖性。应用场景包括多无人机环境监测、搜索和救援、监视和侦察以及目标跟踪。Dr. Zhou 博士及博后期间独立指导多名本硕博学生, 学术论文25篇, 发表在 IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO), Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS), Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR), IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) 等多个国际机器人顶级期刊和会议, 并与 MIT, UPenn, Cambridge, USC, UMich, GaTech, UMD, VT 的机器人学者及其研究团队保持长期、紧密的合作关系。实验室正在筹建阶段, 将搭建丰富的硬件和机器人平台, 包括桌面级AI超级计算机 NVIDIA DGX Station, 室内定位系统 Optitrack/Vicon, 大中小型无人机 Intel Falcon 8+, Qualcomm AI Drone, Crazyflie 2.1, 地面机器人 Turtlebot (室内), Jacal/Husky (室外) 等。 另外，每名学生会分配一台高性能笔记本或台式电脑 (System76 工作站/Lambda GPU 工作站)。更多信息详见个人网站：https://lfzhou917.github.io/; https://drexel.edu/engineering/about/faculty-staff/Z/zhou-lifeng/ 和实验室网站: https://zhourobotics.github.io/.

【实验室招生】
We look for talented and highly motivated students who have strong interests and backgrounds in robotics, algorithms, combinatorial optimization, game theory, and machine learning.

【博士生】
Prospective Ph.D. students are welcome from any number of areas including (but not necessarily limited to), multi-robot systems, robotics algorithms, machine learning, combinatorial optimization, game theory, motion planning, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and model predictive control.

The Ph.D. scholarship will cover the student's tuition and stipend during the Ph.D. program. The preferred start term is Winter 2022/Spring 2023/Summer 2023/Fall 2023. If you are interested in joining the lab, you should apply to the Drexel ECE Ph.D. program and mention Dr. Zhou in your SoP. You are encouraged to contact Dr. Zhou at lz457@drexel.edu with the title "Prospective Ph.D. students" and include your CV and a short description of your academic background and research interests.

【硕士/本科生】
Prospective master's and undergraduate students interested in our research are welcome to join the lab. You are encouraged to contact Dr. Zhou at lz457@drexel.edu with the title "Prospective master's/undergraduate students" and include your CV, a copy of your transcripts, and a short description of your academic background and research interests.

【访问学者/学生】
