Chuheng Wei
Postdoctoral Researcher · College of Engineering · Purdue University
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the College of Engineering at Purdue University, working with Dr. Ziran Wang. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at UC Riverside, 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: including vision-based and multi-sensor fusion perception in adverse environments, cooperative perception in V2X systems, trajectory prediction and planning in complex traffic scenarios, as well as personalized autonomous driving and vehicle re-identification.
