Chengrui Qu
PhD Student at Caltech
Shot in PKU, 2025 Spring
About me
I am a first-year PhD student in the Caltech Rigorous Systems Research Group, advised by Prof. Adam Wierman and Prof. Eric Mazumdar at the Computing + Mathematical Sciences (CMS) Department, California Institute of Technology. You can find my CV here. Before joining Caltech, I obtained my B.Sc. degree at Peking University.
Research interests
My research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical foundations for sequential decision-making, robust multi-agent systems, and data-driven optimization for real-world applications.
