About me:


I'm Yanhui ZHANG, Member of IEEE RAS, and Member of Chinese Association of Automation, now as Ph.D visiting at National University of Singapore (NUS, Singapore). Meanwhile, I am also pursuiting my doctor degree for Aeronautical and Astronautical Science and Technology,at Zhejiang University. My projects were about Hypersonic Aircraft Controller design, UAV navigation and adaptive learning control, and UAV swarm control. (I am also an expert in formulating international standards for IEEE UAV formation safety control)

From 2024 to 2025, I am studying at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), funding by China Scholarship of Council (CSC) for the research of Advance Learning Control.

From 2021 to 2025, I am pursuiting my Ph.D degree in Zhejiang University (ZJU) for the research of control and motionplanning of UAV/Self-driving cars/Unpowered sailing vessel and hypersonic aircraft.

From 2017 to 2020, I have been working in iFLYTEK for the research of image algorithm and autonomous driving algorithm.

From 2014 to 2017, I am studying for a master's degree in School of Automation, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA).
