Wenjian Hao's research focuses on learning mathematical models of complex, nonlinear systems (like robots and autonomous vehicles) and using those models for control and decision-making. A recurring tool is 'Koopman theory,' a technique that approximates nonlinear system behavior with simpler linear representations, which is combined with deep learning and reinforcement learning to make control algorithms faster and more data-efficient.
