Topic:
|
Nonlinear PI
Control
|
|
Speaker:
|
Dr.
Z.P.Jiang, Associate Professor, Polytechnic
University, New York, NY
|
|
Abstract:
|
In this talk I present a nonlinear small-gain
method for thedesign of nonlinear controllers
for systems with parametric and dynamic
uncertainties. Through examples it is shown that
this novel method can be employed systematically
to unify various results available in past
literature of nonlinear control. Nonlinear
parameterization, partial-state and output
feedback designs will be
discussed.

Bio:
|
Dr. Jiang received the Ph.D. degree in
automatic control and mathematics from the Ecole
des Mines de Paris, France, in 1993. From 1993
to 1998, he held visiting researcher positions
in several institutions including INRIA
(Sophia-Antipolis), France, the Department of
Systems Engineering in the Australian National
University, Canberra, Australia, and the Dept of
Electrical Engineering in the University of
Sydney. In January 1999, he joined the
Polytechnic University at Brooklyn as an
Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering, where he is now an Associate
Professor. His main research interests include
stability theory, robust and adaptive nonlinear
control, with special emphasis on applications
to underactuated mechanical systems and
communication networks. Currently, Dr. Jiang is
a Subject Editor for the International Journal
of Robust and Nonlinear Control, and an
Associate Editor for Systems and Control Letters
and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Dr.
Jiang is the recipient of a prestigious Queen
Elizabeth II Fellowship Award (1998) from the
Australian Research Council and a CAREER
Awardfrom the U.S. National Science Foundation
(2000).
