My name is Sikai (Sky) Chen, “陈思凯” in Chinese.
Welcome to the Sky-Lab website.

We are a research group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our research centers around three major themes: human users, AI, and transportation. We aim to innovate and develop safe, efficient, sustainable, and human-centered transportation systems using cutting-edge methods and technologies. Our focus is on incorporating human behaviors, interactive autonomy, and intelligent control frameworks.

Thank you very much for your interest in our work.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to learning from and collaborating with you!
