Bio

Wencen Wu is an Associate Professor in the Computer Engineering Department at San Jose State University. Prior to joining 91传媒厂 in Fall 2018, she was an Assistant Professor in the ECSE department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the dual-M.S. and B.S. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research focuses on the integration of robotics, machine learning, estimation theory, and control theory within the context of cyber-physical systems. She is particularly interested in the application of these disciplines to the development and enhancement of autonomous intelligent systems.
