Dr. Guangda Chen is currently working as a Senior Robot Engineer at Fuxi Robotics in NetEase. And he is also a postdoctoral researcher at the College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University (advised by Prof. Rong Xiong). He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Science and Technology of China in 2021 (BA17011, advised by Prof. Xiaoping Chen in the USTC Robotics Laboratory). Before joining USTC Robotics Lab in 2015, he received a Bachelor of Administration from China Medical University in 2014. As a graduate student, he focused on researching mobile robot navigation in dynamic and crowded environments. Currently, he is dedicated to developing and applying innovative automation and intelligent technologies in heavy construction machinery.
