Profile: https://flows.cv/yanglun

I am an Autonomous Driving Software Engineer at Isuzu, specializing in motion planning and machine learning.

I hold a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, where I was a member of the Image-Guided Medical Robotics Lab. During my time there, I conducted independent research focused on online trajectory generation for adaptive scanning under the supervision of Prof. Mark Draelos.

I earned my bachelor's degree in Biomechatronics Engineering from National Taiwan University (NTU). While at NTU, I collaborated with Prof. Ping-Lang Yen on agricultural robotics projects and had the privilege of contributing to the development of Taiwan's first human-robot collaborative tea harvesting vehicle.
