Research Domains

Our research treats the low-altitude economy as a socio-technical system — integrating engineering, governance, and market design.

01

Low-Altitude Economy & Governance

Airspace property rights, regulatory frameworks, market access mechanisms, and institutional design for urban air mobility systems.

02

UAV Swarm Intelligence

Multi-agent reinforcement learning for formation control, cooperative decision-making, collision avoidance, and large-scale swarm coordination.

03

Urban Air Mobility (UAM)

eVTOL scheduling, vertiport network design, airspace management algorithms, and strategic pricing games for emerging air taxi markets.

04

Simulation & Digital Twin

High-fidelity GPU-accelerated simulation frameworks, Isaac Sim integrations, and digital twin pipelines for testing autonomous aviation systems.

AeroSim Platform

A comprehensive simulation and teaching platform for low-altitude economy education, powered by HKVS research.
