MSL alumnus Dr. Xingyu Zhou received the 2024 IEEE ITS Best Dissertation Award for his dissertation “An Adaptive Control Framework with Applications to Intelligent and Human-Centric Vehicular Automation.” Congratulations Dr. Zhou!
Another MSL alumnus, Prof. Zejiang Wang, also received this award in 2022.
MSL’s paper “Adaptive Control of Vehicle Steering-by-Wire System with Varying-Degree Lyapunov Function and Deterministic Robust Control Augmentation” authored by Xingyu Zhou, Hyunjin Ahn, Yung-Chi Kung, Heran Shen, and Junmin Wang received the ASME Automotive and Transportation Systems Technical Committee Best Paper Award for American Control Conference 2024.
Prof. Wang was recently awarded Fulbright Distinguished Scholar (Yonsei University), the most prestigious award in the Fulbright Program, by the U.S. Department of State. More details here.
Prof. Wang has been elevated to IEEE Fellow for contributions improving ground vehicle roadway safety. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest technical professional organization. More details can be found here.
Profs. Wang, Hayhoe, Wei, and Zhu recently received an NSF Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) award “Brain-inspired Algorithms for Autonomous Robots (BAAR)”. This cross-disciplinary project is a collaboration among four disciplines: Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Neuroscience, and Psychology. With over $2M from NSF, the research aims to develop novel AI algorithms with principles of neurobiological learning and insights into brain intelligence for autonomous robots such as self-driving vehicles and household collaborative robots.
