Lu Feng
University of Virginia
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Engineering Systems and Environment at the University of Virginia (UVa). I am also a member of the Link Lab - the center of research excellence in Cyber-Physical Systems at UVa. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. I hold a D.Phil. in Computer Science from the University of Oxford, a M.Phil. in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology from the University of Cambridge, and a B.Eng. in Information Engineering from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
My research focuses on assuring the safety and trustworthiness of cyber-physical systems (CPS). I develop modeling and analysis methods for CPS, drawing on formal methods, machine learning, control theory, and human factors. I also work across many different application domains, from autonomous robots, to smart cities, to medical systems. I have been fortunate to receive a couple of awards for my work, including NSF CAREER Award, NSF CRII Award, among others.
