Ningshi Yao is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at George Mason Â鶹¹ú²ú. She received her PhD from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020, and her BSÌýin Automatic Control from Zhejiang Â鶹¹ú²ú, China, in 2014. Prior to joining Mason, she was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology from November 2020 to July 2021.

In her research, she developed a novel contention-resolving model predictive control method to co-design scheduling and control for resource-constrained systems, such as networked control systems, traffic intersection management, and human-robot collaborative systems. Her research interests include real-time scheduling, control theory, cyber-physical systems, machine learning, and human-robot interaction.
