About Me

Hi there! I’m Yuan Chengran (袁成冉), a PhD student at the Advanced Robotics Centre , National University of Singapore, supervised by Prof. Marcelo Ang.

My research focuses on end-to-end autonomous driving, and I’m currently exploring world models and vision-language-action (VLA) models for autonomous driving applications.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in academic collaboration or research discussions — I’d love to connect!
