Background:

Chengyuan Liu is a Lecturer in Safety-critical Control for Autonomous systems in the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering (AAE) at Loughborough University. She received her PhD in Robust Control from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London, in 2017. Following that, she worked as a Research Associate in the Control of Artificial Pancreas at Imperial College London. From 2019 to 2021, she was a Research Fellow in Intelligent Robotics and Automation at the Centre for Aerospace Manufacturing, University of Nottingham. She has been a lecturer in the AAE Department at Loughborough University since 2021. Her research interests primarily focus on safety-critical control and intelligent control for autonomous systems, especially for autonomous vehicles, artificial pancreas, and industry robots.

Outline of main research interests: 

My research interests lie in the safety-critical and intelligent control for autonomous systems, especially in the application of autonomous vehicles, robotics, and artificial pancreas. Current research focusses on the development of model predictive control (MPC) and data-driven/learning schemes, with the effective computation of safety-critical sets.
