Professor Huang said: “It is a profound honour to be elected an International Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and I accept it with deep gratitude and humility. My heartfelt thanks go to my friends, colleagues and family for their unwavering support, and especially to the members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering for the great trust they have placed in me.”
Professor Huang is a world-renowned scholar in control and automation engineering. He received his diploma from Fuzhou University and his Master’s and PhD from Nanjing University of Science and Technology and the Johns Hopkins University, respectively. After his doctoral studies, he held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University. Before joining CUHK, Professor Huang worked in industry in the USA. In 1995, he joined the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at CUHK and is now its Choh-Ming Li Research Professor of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, and Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Engineering. He was appointed to the Yangtse Scholar Professorship in 2003 and as a State Specially Recruited Expert in 2012.
Professor Huang’s research interests lie in control theory and applications, robotics and automation, computational intelligence, game theory, and guidance and control of flight vehicles. He received Second Prize in the State Natural Science Prize in 2010 and a Croucher Senior Research Fellowship award in 2006. He has received the best paper award at several international conferences and the best paper award (theory category) from Unmanned Systems in 2022. He was elected an HKIE Fellow in 2017, a Chinese Association of Automation (CAA) Inauguration Fellow in 2010, an IFAC Fellow in 2009 and an IEEE Fellow in 2004. He has received the CAA Excellent PhD Thesis Supervisor Award twice.
