报告地点：南一楼中311室

报告摘要:

The objectives of this talk are two-fold. As the first objective, I will report on recent results in network stability and control, and data-driven control, made by my coauthors over the last few years. And I will also discuss open control challenges in the general fields of network science and data-driven control. The second objective of the talk is to seek outstanding PhD students who can join our team to explore these open control problems.

报告人简介:

Zhong-Ping JIANG received the B.Sc. degree in mathematics from the University of Wuhan, Wuhan, China, in 1988, the M.Sc. degree in statistics from the University of Paris XI, France, in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in automatic control and mathematics from the Ecole des Mines de Paris (now, called ParisTech-Mines), France, in 1993, under the direction of Prof. Laurent Praly.

Currently, he is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Tandon School of Engineering, New York University. His main research interests include stability theory, robust/adaptive/distributed nonlinear control, adaptive dynamic programming and their applications to information, mechanical and biological systems. He is coauthor of four books Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems (with Dr. I. Karafyllis, Springer, 2011), Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Networks (with Drs. T. Liu and D.J. Hill, Taylor & Francis, 2014), Robust Adaptive Dynamic Programming (with Y. Jiang, Wiley-IEEE Press, 2017) and Nonlinear Control Under Information Constraints (with T. Liu, Science Press, 2018). He also is the (co)author of 15 book chapters, 196 published/accepted journal papers, and numerous conference papers. His work has received over 18,200 citations with an h-index of 68, by Google Scholar.

Dr. Jiang is a Deputy co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Control and Decision, a Senior Editor for the IEEE Control Systems Letters, an Editor for the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control and has served as an Associate Editor for several journals including Mathematics of Control, Signals and Systems (MCSS), Systems & Control Letters, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, European Journal of Control, and Science China: Information Sciences. Dr. Jiang is a recipient of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship Award from the Australian Research Council (1998), the CAREER Award from the U.S. National Science Foundation (2001), JSPS Invitation Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2005), the Distinguished Overseas Chinese Scholar Award from the NSF of China (2007), and the Chair Professorship by the Ministry of Education of China (2009). His recent awards include the Steve and Rosalind Hsia Best Biomedical Paper Award at the 2016 World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation in Guilin, China, and the Best Paper Award at the 2017 Asian Control Conference, Gold Coast, Australia.

Prof. Jiang is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the IFAC.
