Henry Che

I am a MSCS (Thesis-based) student at UIUC, where I am advised by Prof. Shenlong Wang. I am grateful to have my research supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship .

Before that, I graduate from UIUC with a B.S. in Computer Engineering. I also spent half a year as a research intern at Waabi AI, working on autonomous trucking with Jingkang Wang and Prof. Raquel Urtasun.
