About Me

Hi, I'm Yanhao Wu, a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Xi'an Jiaotong University, supervised by Prof. Ke Wei and Dr. Tong Zhang. I expect to graduate in December 2026.

My research focuses on autonomous driving, with an emphasis on learning-based planning, closed-loop driving simulation, and self-supervised representation learning. I developed UMGen, a generative framework for closed-loop driving simulation, and AlignDrive, an aligned lateral-longitudinal planning method for end-to-end autonomous driving.

I also have two years of industry research experience at Horizon Robotics, working on large-scale learning-based autonomous driving systems.
