Zhong-Ping JIANG received the B.Sc. degree in mathematics from the University of Wuhan, Wuhan, China, in 1988, the M.Sc. degree in statistics from the University of Paris XI, France, in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in automatic control and mathematics from the ParisTech-Mines, France, in 1993, under the direction of Prof. Laurent Praly.
Currently, he is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Tandon School of Engineering, New York University. He is known for fundamental contributions to nonlinear control theory and applications. In particular, he is a key contributor to nonlinear small-gain theory. His main research interests include stability theory, robust/adaptive/distributed nonlinear control, adaptive dynamic programming and their applications to information, mechanical and biological systems. He is coauthor of five books Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems (with Dr. I. Karafyllis, Springer, 2011), Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Networks (with Drs. T. Liu and D.J. Hill, Taylor & Francis, 2014), Robust Adaptive Dynamic Programming (with Y. Jiang, Wiley-IEEE Press, 2017), Nonlinear Control Under Information Constraints (with T. Liu, Science Press, 2018) and Robust Event-Triggered Control of Nonlinear Systems (with T. Liu and P. Zhang, Springer Nature, 2020).
Dr. Jiang is a Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Control and Decision and of the IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica, and has served as a Senior Editor for the IEEE Control Systems Letters and the Systems and Control Letters, an Editor for the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control and an Associate Editor for several journals including Mathematics of Control, Signals and Systems (MCSS), Systems & Control Letters, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, European Journal of Control, and Science China: Information Sciences. Dr. Jiang is a recipient of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship Award from the Australian Research Council (1998), the CAREER Award from the U.S. National Science Foundation (2001), JSPS Invitation Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2005), the Distinguished Overseas Chinese Scholar Award from the NSF of China (2007), and the Chair Professorship by the Ministry of Education of China (2009). His recent awards include the Steve and Rosalind Hsia Best Biomedical Paper Award at the 2016 World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation in Guilin, China, the Best Paper Award at the 2017 Asian Control Conference, Gold Coast, Australia, and the Best Paper Award on Control at the 2018 IEEE Conf. on Real-Time Computing and Robotics, Maldives.
Prof. Jiang is a Fellow of IEEE, IFAC and CAA. and is among the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers.
