SCOPUS IDBiography
Dr. Wen received a BEng degree in Mechanical Engineering from Beijing Information Science and Technology University (BISTU), Beijing, China, in 2015, and an MEng degree in Mechanical Engineering from the China Agricultural University, in 2017. After that, he received a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), in 2020. He was also a visiting PhD student with the Faculty of Engineering, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) in 2018. Before joining PolyU as an Assistant Professor in 2023, he was a Research Assistant Professor at AAE of PolyU since 2021. He has published 30 SCI papers and 40 conference papers in the field of GNSS (ION GNSS+) and navigation for Robotic systems (IEEE ICRA, IEEE ITSC), such as autonomous driving vehicles. He won the innovation award from TechConnect 2021, the Best Presentation Award from the Institute of Navigation (ION) in 2020, and the First Prize in Hong Kong Section in Qianhai-Guangdong-Macao Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition in 2019 based on his research achievements in 3D LiDAR aided GNSS positioning for robotics navigation in urban canyons. The developed 3D LiDAR-aided GNSS positioning method has been reported by top magazines such as Inside GNSS and has attracted industry recognition with remarkable knowledge transfer. His mission and dedication are to investigate reliable methods to improve the GNSS positioning in urban canyons, which is of great importance for reliable robotic navigation.
