Dr Jianglin Lan received his B.Eng. degree in Automation from the South China Agricultural University in 2011, M.Sc. degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering from the South China University of Technology in 2014, and Ph.D. degree in Control & Intelligent Systems Engineering from the University of Hull in 2017. From August 2017 to November 2018, he was as a Research Associate in the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre at the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, University of Sheffield. Since November 2018, he has been working as a Research Associate at the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, Loughborough University. He is the author of 22 refereed papers (including 9 journal papers) and 1 chapter in an edited monograph. His research interests include fault estimation and fault-tolerant control, robust optimization and decision making, and their applications for renewable energy, robotics and network systems.
ProfessorRon J. Patton graduated from Sheffield University with B.Eng., M.Eng., Ph.D. degrees in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Control Systems. He holds the Chair in Control & Intelligent Systems Engineering at Hull University and has made a substantial contribution in over 35 years to the field of modelling Robust methods for FDI/FDD (fault detection and isolation/fault detection and diagnosis) and Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) in dynamic systems. He has a Hirsch Index H_55 and is author of 490 papers, including 140 journal papers and 6 books. Dr Patton serves on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. He is Subject Editor in System Supervision: Fault-tolerant Control & Diagnosis for the Wiley Journal of Adaptive Control & Signal Processing. He has chaired several conference committees including the International Programme Committees for IFAC Safeprocess’97, UKACC Control’98 and the Med’08. His current research interests are robust multiple-model and de-centralized strategies for FDI/FDD & FTC and Renewable Energy including load mitigation control for offshore wind turbines and wave to wire control of wave energy conversion. He is Fellow of IEEE, Senior member of AIAA and Fellow of the Institute of Measurement and Control.
