10月9日，加拿大维多利亚大学机械工程系教授施阳博士应学院邀请，通过腾讯会议在线上为我院做《Advanced Model Predictive Control (MPC) Framework for Autonomous Intelligent Systems》的专题讲座暨电气信息工程学院学术月第三讲。本次讲座由院长邵克勇主持，电气院师生共计100余人参会交流、研讨。
本次专题讲座，施阳教授首先介绍了自主智能系统的基本概念，阐述了在工业4.0时代自主智能系统的应用前景，并介绍了现今社会已经熟练使用自主智能系统的各种案例，然后以自主智能系统引出模型预测控制的基本概念，并分别介绍了模型预测控制的两种设计框架，以及模型预测控制算法在各种自主智能系统中的应用。
专题报告结束后，参会老师与研究生踊跃提问交流，施阳逐一耐心解答，与我院教师共同探讨模型预测控制在各种自主智能系统中的应用前景，开拓了诸位老师与研究生在该领域研究的视野，得到与会师生的高度评价。
施阳教授简介
Yang SHI received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, in 2005. From 2005 to 2009, he was an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2009, he joined the University of Victoria, and now he is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. His current research interests include networked and distributed systems, model predictive control (MPC), cyber-physical systems (CPS), robotics and mechatronics, navigation and control of autonomous systems (AUV and UAV), and energy system applications.
Dr. Shi received the University of Saskatchewan Student Union Teaching Excellence Award in 2007. At the University of Victoria, he received the Faculty of Engineering Teaching Excellence in 2012, and the Craigdarroch Silver Medal for Excellence in Research in 2015. He received the JSPS Invitation Fellowship (short-term), and was a Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo during Nov-Dec 2013. His co-authored paper was awarded the 2017 IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems Outstanding Paper Award. He received the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers in 2018. He is currently Vice President of IEEE IES, and the Chair of IEEE IES Technical Committee on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems. Currently, he is Co-Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics; he also serves as Associate Editor for Automatica, IEEE Trans. Automatic Control, IEEE Trans. Cybernetics, etc. He is a Fellow of IEEE, ASME and CSME, and a registered Professional Engineer in British Columbia, Canada. He is a Fellow of Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC).
