Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhichao Li is a Senior Control Engineer and PhD candidate in Robotics at UC San Diego with eight years of experience building safe, robust control and planning algorithms for autonomous systems. He has transitioned academic research—spanning safe control, motion planning, and robot model learning at the Existential Robotics Lab—into real-world hardware validation and industry roles, most recently at ASML after a brief tenure improving medical ventilation control systems. Holding an MS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (4.0 GPA) and a B.Eng. in detection, guidance and control, he blends rigorous theoretical foundations with hands-on implementation and simulation. Zhichao’s teaching experience in planning and learning for robotics signals strong communication skills, and his work often emphasizes verifiable safety properties rather than just performance metrics.
