SSE Weekly Colloquium | 理工学院系列研讨会邀请

The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) is committed to creating a platform for students and faculty members to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge research developments in various fields of science and engineering. Starting from 2021 fall, SSE will organize the "Weekly Colloquium" series of seminars every Friday. Each week, SSE will invite our faculty members and distinguished guest speakers from outside the University to conduct academic seminars.  

All students and faculty members are invited to join the weekly colloquium!

Abstract

If we have a heterogeneous population controlled by a distributed interaction network and if all the interactions have a uniform mechanism which can be delicately designed, then whether the population can be made to exhibit a desirable collective behaviour depends on the diversity of the population and the quality of the interaction. In this talk, for several scenarios, we will define the population diversity and the interaction quality, and we will then present such a dependence. The results presented in this talk come from the recent study of matrix phases.

The Speaker

Professor Li Qiu received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto in 1990. After briefly working in the Canadian Space Agency, the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Waterloo), and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (Minneapolis), he joined the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong SAR, China in 1993 and is now a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. In 2023, he took a leave to work in Southern University of Science and Technology, as a Chair Professor. He joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen in 2024, as a Presidential Chair Professor. Prof. Qiu's research interests include system, control, optimization theory, and mathematics for information technology, as well as their applications in manufacturing industry and energy systems. He is also interested in control education and co-authored an undergraduate textbook "Introduction to Feedback Control" which was published by Prentice-Hall in 2009. He served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Automatica. He was the General Chair of the 7th Asian Control Conference, which was held in Hong Kong, China in 2009. He was a Distinguished Lecturer from 2007 to 2010 and was a Member of the Board of Governors in 2012 and 2017 of the IEEE Control Systems Society. He was a Vice President of the Asian Control Association and the Founding Chairperson of the Hong Kong Automatic Control Association. He is a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellow of IFAC, and an inaugural Fellow of ACA (Asian Control Association).
