Speaker: Prof. Kangzhi Liu, graduated from the Automation Department, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China, in 1984, and obtained his Master’s and doctor’s degrees from the Electronic Electrical Engineering Department, Chiba University, Japan, and has been a professor thereafter. His major research interest is control theory and industrial applications, in particular robust control and nonlinear control. He has published 6 academic monographs (in Japanese, Chinese and English). He has won an academic award and three excellent paper awards from Japan Institute of Measurement and Automatic Control, for his contributions in his research field. He recently focused on the study of smart grid and electric drive technology. He has been in charge of the Control Group of the editing committee for Japan Institute of measurement and Automatic Control, Chair of SICE MSCS 2021, and associate editor in chief of two international journals. He was elected a member of council of Japan Institute of Measurement and Automatic Control in 2017, and executive member in 2018, chairman of SICE in 2017-2018, councilor in 2019-2020. He has been a member of Chinese Association of Automation Control Theory committee since 2014.
