Personal profile
Research profile
He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in control theory from Shandong University (SDU), China, in 1991 and 1994, received his Ph.D. degree in control engineering from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA) in 1998, with the PhD thesis focusing on the control analysis and synethesis of hybrid dynamic systems. He had been UNU/IIST Fellow at United Nation University/International Insitutue of Software Technology (Macau) during 1995-1996 with focus on the formal methods for hybrid systems, post-doctor at Delft University of Technology during 1998-1999 with focus on the fault tolerant flight control, post-doctor and Assistant Professor at Aalborg University during 1999-2003. Since 2003 he has been an Associate Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. Currently he is the leader of Offshore Energy Systems Research Program in Department of Energy Technology and leader of the Separation & Control Research Group (former Oil & Gas & Robot Group). He has been secretary of IEEE joint Danish Chapter of Control System Society (CS023) and Robotics and Automation Society (RA024) since 2012. He is also a member of SPE.
His research areas include control theory, mathematical modelling and identification, fault detection and diagnosis, fault tolerant control, hybrid dynamical systems, AI & machine learning, autonomous robotics, as well as industrial applications. Recent years he has been extensively committing research and development of advanced automation and monitoring on the produced/injection water treatment for offshore oil & gas production.
