currently a professional officer in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Dr. Wang’s research interests include control of flexible link robots and
smart materials robot control, control of nonholonomic systems, adaptive
nonlinear control, neural network control, and robust control.
Chun-Yi Su earned his B.E. degree in control engineering from Xian University
of Technology in 1982, his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in control engineering from
South China University of Technology, China, in 1987 and 1990, respectively.
After a long stint at the University of Victoria, he joined Concordia University
in 1998, where he is currently an associate professor and holds the Concordia
Research Chair (Tier II) in intelligent control of nonsmooth dynamic systems.
Dr. Su’s main research interests are in nonlinear control theory and robotics.
He is the author and co-author of over 100 publications, which have appeared in
journals, as book chapters, and in conference proceedings. He was the general
co-chair of the Fourth International Conference on Control and Automation
(ICCA’03).
