Chris Xiaoxuan Lu
Assistant Professor @ School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. My research interests broadly lie in cyber-physical systems (e.g., mobile robots and mixed reality devices) with the goal to drastically improve their reliability, intelligence and security in the wild. These works are motivated by the urgent need of robust localization and spatial perception solutions for mobile robotics and wearables to deal with i. sensing degradation (e.g., bad weather & poor illumination), ii. resource constraints (e.g., payloads, compute & energy budgets) and iii. malicious faults (e.g., adversarial attacks). Representative lines of research I have been recently focusing on are 4D Automotive Radar-enabled Mobile Autonomy and Sense Augmentation for First Responders.
Before coming to Edinburgh, I did both my PhD study and post-doctoral in the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. Even earlier, I received my M.Eng degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
