Background
Dr Yi-Yuan Li is a Research Fellow at the Advanced Vehicle Engineering Centre. She completed her PhD at the University of Bristol in 2021, where her research focused on developing a network-synthesis-based methodology for identifying optimum vibration suppression designs across a range of mechanical systems. Her current research focuses on optimal control strategy development for multi-actuated electric vehicles, with particular emphasis on model predictive control for coupled in-wheel motor and active suspension systems.
