Chuheng Wei
I am Chuheng Wei, a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the Transportation System Research (TSR) Group within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Riverside. I am co-advised by Dr. Matthew J. Barth and Dr. Guoyuan Wu. I completed my Master’s degree in Smart Connected and Autonomous Vehicles at the University of Warwick, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Valentina Donzella.
My research focuses on autonomous driving perception and planning under challenging conditions. Specifically, I work on vision-based and multi-sensor fusion perception in adverse environments, cooperative perception in V2X systems, trajectory prediction and planning in complex traffic scenarios such as congested intersections and yellow-light dilemma zones, as well as personalized autonomous driving and vehicle re-identification.
