Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhihao Ruan is a software engineer specializing in motion and behavioral planning for autonomous vehicles, with eight years of experience across industry and academic research. He holds dual B.S. degrees in CSE and ECE and an M.S. in Robotics, and has applied that multidisciplinary background to build graph-based multi-agent planners, real-time path planners, and scalable C++ middleware for production autonomy stacks. At DiDi he develops speed-planning and fallback autonomy systems, and at TuSimple he advanced lane-change decision algorithms and upstream simulation processing. He combines hands-on embedded systems work (STM32, sensor fusion, FMCW ultrasound) with high-level planning research, and has run full multi-vehicle planners on Jetson Xavier NX hardware. Based in Sunnyvale, Zhihao blends rigorous academic foundations with practical system-building for safety-critical autonomous driving.
