Dr. Jianfei Chen received PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Mechanical Engineering at University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2019, where his cross-disciplinary research problems centering around the development of aerial-ground sensing networks, including architecture design, sensor activation mechanism, and spatial planning for minimizing both path and energy. After graduating, he worked in the industry for a couple of different projects related the Small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS), including sUAS swarm control, sUAS autonomous precision landing, and sUAS beyond-line-of-sight operation.
Jianfei joined Applied Research for Mobility Systems group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2022 as Postdoctoral Research Associate and became R&D Associate staff in 2023. There he utilizes his strength and experience on unmanned system to help the research on X-in-the-loop (XIL) simulation for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Currently he is working on multiple projects. His tasks involve developing a framework to bridge vehicle dynamic simulation software, visualization tool, and vehicle perception stack to complete the XIL simulation
