Zirui Wu is a Ph.D. student in Transportation Engineering at Penn State (since Fall 2024). Zirui’s research addresses perception and prediction for autonomous driving, including confidence-gated lane topology reasoning that stays robust under occlusion (IEEE ICRA 2026) and motion prediction. Zirui received the Harry G. Miller Fellowship in Engineering (2026).
