Shenghui Chen CS PhD @UTAustin

Shenghui (Vivian) Chen

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, advised by Professor Ufuk Topcu. I obtained B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, advised by Professor Lu Feng.

I am broadly interested in planning and learning within autonomous systems, with a focus on multi-agent interactions and human-agent interaction in dynamic environments.
