Shuzhi Sam Ge, IEEE Fellow, is a full professor with the Electrical and
Computer Engineering Department at the National University of Singapore.
He earned the B.Sc. degree from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and
Astronautics (BUAA) in 1986, and the Ph.D. degree and the Diploma of
Imperial College (DIC) from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and
Medicine in 1993. His current research interests are in the control of nonlinear
systems, hybrid systems, neural/fuzzy systems, robotics, sensor fusion, and
real-time implementation. He has authored and co-authored over 200 inter-
national journal and conference papers, three monographs and co-invented
three patents. He was the recipient of a number of prestigious research awards,
and has been serving as the editor and associate editor of a number of flagship
international journals. He is also serving as a technical consultant for the local
industry.
Frank L. Lewis, IEEE Fellow, PE Texas, is a distinguished scholar professor
and Moncrief-O’Donnell chair at the University of Texas at Arlington. He
earned the B.Sc. degree in Physics and Electrical Engineering and the M.S.E.E.
at Rice University, the MS in aeronautical engineering from the University of
West Florida, and the Ph.D. at Georgia Institute of Technology. He works in
feedback control and intelligent systems. He is the author of 4 U.S. patents, 160
journal papers, 240 conference papers, and 9 books. He received the Fulbright
Research Award, the NSF Research Initiation Grant, and the ASEE Terman
Award. He was selected as Engineer of the Year in 1994 by the Fort Worth
IEEE Section and is listed in the Fort Worth Business Press Top 200 Leaders in
Manufacturing. He was appointed to the NAE Committee on Space Station in
1995. He is an elected guest consulting professor at both Shanghai Jiao Tong
University and South China University of Technology.

Tong Heng Lee earned the B.A. degree with First Class Honours in the engin-
eering tripos from Cambridge University, England, in 1980, and the Ph.D.
degree from Yale University in 1987. He is a professor in the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singa-
pore. He is also currently Head of the Drives, Power, and Control Systems
Group in this department. Professor Lee’s research interests are in the areas
of adaptive systems, knowledge-based control, intelligent mechatronics, and
computational intelligence. He currently holds associate editor appointments in
Automatica; the IEEE Transactions in Systems, Man and Cybernetics; Control
Engineering Practice (an IFAC journal); the International Journal of Systems
Science (Taylor & Francis, London); and Mechatronics journal (Oxford, Perga-
mon Press). Professor Lee was a recipient of the Cambridge University Charles
Baker Prize in engineering. He has also co-authored three research monographs,
and holds four patents (two of which are in the technology area of adaptive
systems, and the other two are in the area of intelligent mechatronics).
