About this position
Funded PhD project at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), School of Advanced Technology, on Decision-Making Design for Autonomous Driving Considering Intentions of Heterogeneous Traffic Participants.
The project focuses on autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mathematical modelling, and computer science, with an emphasis on intention-aware decision-making in mixed traffic environments. Research themes include behavioral intention understanding, interaction reasoning, and uncertainty-aware decision-making for autonomous vehicles interacting with human-driven vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users.
Supervision is led by Dr Dongyao Jia, with co-supervision by Dr Gordon Boateng and Dr Yi Dong. The student will be awarded a PhD from the University of Liverpool upon successful completion.
Funding is available for three years and covers tuition fees, plus up to RMB 16,500 for international conference participation. RA/TA subsidy may be offered based on performance.
