Qiuchen (Bruce) Qian is a Ph.D. Candidate at Imperial College London, supervised by Dr. David Boyle and co-supervised by Prof. Hamed Haddadi. He received an M.Sc. degree in Applied Computational Science and Engineering from Imperial College (2020) and a B.Eng. in Electronic and Electrical System Engineering at University of Birmingham (2019).
His research interests lie in general Cyber-Physical Systems and Operations Research, focusing on optimal Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mission planning under uncertainties. He is also keen on applying optimization theories to real-world considerations like practical energy management and spatial optimization of UAVs.
Beyond his academic pursuits, he has a deep passion for Xiangqi (Chinese chess) and badminton sport.
