About

Jingjin currently pursues a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, focusing on fundamental problems in robotics and control. In particular, his research in "shadow information spaces" provides efficient algorithms for tracking hidden targets, which applies to a wide range of civilian and security applications. He also studies the challenging issue of finding minimal sets of sensor and actuators that enable distributed robots to accomplish interesting tasks.
