Zhiyun Lin (Ph.D. Toronto) Distinguished Research Professor Dept. of Systems Science & Engineering College of Electrical Engineering Zhejiang University

Bio: Zhiyun Lin has been a Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Systems Science and Engineering, College of Electrical Engineering, Zhejiang University since September, 2007. He is the co-director of the Asus Intelligent Systems Lab (ZAISL). He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Toronto, Canada, in 2005. From October 2005 to August 2007, he was a postdoctoral researcher in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto. 

His research interest is mainly in the field of Control and Dynamical Systems. In Particular, he is interested in switched systems and hybrid systems, as well as analysis and control of distributed networked dynamical systems in engineering, biology,  and physics (e.g., modeling and analysis of collective behaviors such as social aggregation, swarming, flocking, and synchronization of multi-agent systems, cooperative control of multi-agent interconnected systems with applications in robotics). Dr. Lin is a member of IEEE, IEEE Control Systems Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.  Also, he serves as a member of IFAC Technical Committee on Discrete Event and Hybrid Systems.
