Dr. Derong Yang

Dr. Derong Yang, currently works as a senior function developer and researcher at Vehicle Energy and Motion Control department, Volvo Car Group. Dr. Yang received her PhD degree in vehicle dynamics and control from Chalmers University of Technology in 2013. Since then, she has been actively involved in the function and SW development of vehicle motion control functions for passenger cars with different actuators, driveline configurations and autonomy levels, at both normal driving and crash-imminent scenarios. The function design methods include both robust rule-based, as well as model-based optimal control, e.g. control allocation.
