Long Zhuang

Ph.D. Candidate in Radar and Multimodal Perception

😄 About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Instrument Science and Technology at Southeast University (SEU), advised by Associate Professor Yiqing Yao.

Since Sep. 2026, I have been a visiting joint Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, working with Associate Professor Bihan Wen, supported by the China Scholarship Council (CSC). My research visit at NTU runs from Sep. 2026 to Aug. 2027.

My research interests lie in millimeter-wave radar-based multimodal perception and localization. My goal is to develop robust perception and navigation systems that enable intelligent robots to operate reliably in complex real-world environments. Google Scholar citation count

🔜 I am actively seeking postdoctoral positions beginning in 2028 in autonomous driving, robotics, embodied AI, and multimodal perception. I welcome discussions about potential collaborations and relevant opportunities. Contact: longzhuang21@126.com.
