Jiqiang Wang is Associate Professor of Systems Control at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He obtained his Ph.D. from Sheffield University, UK, in 2009. His research interests are in the general area of complex systems modelling, 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 towards 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 8 filed patents and further 16 patents in review. He is Sectary to Society of Artificial Intelligence Simulation Technology, Chinese Simulation Federation; Committee Member of Society of Intelligent Aerospace Systems, Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence; Committee Member of Centre for Innovation in Aerospace Technology, NUAA Society for Science and Technology. Weicun Zhang is Associate Professor at the School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing.
