Professor Jiqiang Wang is with Research Centre in Systems Engineering for Special Aircrafts, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology & Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He receives bachelor degrees in both management & mechanical engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, China in 2003. He obtains his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in control systems, both from the University of Sheffield, UK in 2005, 2008, respectively. He then works as a research fellow at the Industrial Control Centre, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. From October 2009 to November 2021, he works as an associate professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, before moving to Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology & Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences as a professor in November 2021.His research interests are in the general area of complex systems modeling, control and health management, with particular application to active control and energy harvesting, smart structures and turbine power systems. Specifically, he developed systematically a geometric design methodology for active control and energy harvesting toward performance limit; he initiated and proposed model-based nonlinear control of gas turbine power systems. He has been involved around 30 research projects from various sources as PIs & Co-PIs. He has published over 100 papers in international journals and conferences, with 11 filed patents and further 12 patents in review.He has been the recipients for Distinguished Project of Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province; Distinguished Project of Fundamental Research Projects for Central Universities, Outstanding Paper Awards 2021 from Chinese Simulation Federation, Outstanding Paper Awards from ICANDVC-2021, Best Paper Awards from CISC-2019 and Best Paper Awards from ICMIC-2019. He serves as the sectary to Society of Artificial Intelligence Simulation Technology, Chinese Simulation Federation; a committee member of Society of Intelligent Aerospace Systems, Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence.
