Biography

I was born in Longquan, Zhejiang Province, China.

In June 2006, I received Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Zhejiang University, China.

In November 2008, I received Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) in the Systems Control Group, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, the University of Toronto, supervised by Professor Murray Wonham. My research topic was supervisor localization for distributed control of discrete-event systems.

In September 2011, I received Ph.D. in Department of Computational Intelligence and Systems Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology, supervised by Professor Hideaki Ishii. My research topic was distributed consensus and averaging in multi-agent networks.

I returned to Toronto and continued working with Professor Murray Wonham from 2011-2013 as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, the University of Toronto.

I returned to Tokyo and became an Assistant Professor (for five months) at Department of Information Physics and Computing, the University of Tokyo.

I became a tenure-track Associate Professor from April 2014, at Urban Research Plaza, Osaka City University. After three years and since April 2017, I have been a tenured Associate Professor at Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Osaka City University.

I published two books -- "Supervisor Localization" and "Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems", both co-authored with Prof. W.Murray Wonham.

I received Best Journal Paper Award and Young Author's Award from SICE (Society of Instrument and Control Engineers), and the Best Student Paper Award from IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control 2010.

I am serving as an Associate Editor for for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Conference Editorial Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society. I am the Chair of the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on discrete-event systems since 2019.
