Yuan Wang (control theorist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yuan Wang (Chinese: 王沅) is a Chinese-American mathematician specializing in control theory and known for her research on input-to-state stability. She is a professor of mathematics at Florida Atlantic University, chair of the university's Department of Mathematical Sciences,[1] and a moderator for the arXiv mathematical preprint repository in the areas of optimization and control (math.OC) and systems and control (cs.SY).[2]

Education and career

[edit]

Wang studied mathematics at Shandong University in China, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1982.[3] She completed a Ph.D. in 1990 at Rutgers University, with the dissertation Algebraic Differential Equations and Nonlinear Control Systems supervised by Eduardo D. Sontag.[4]

She joined Florida Atlantic University as an assistant professor of mathematics in 1990. She was promoted to associate professor in 1995 and full professor in 2000.[3]

Recognition

[edit]

Wang was named as an IEEE Fellow in 2013, "for contributions to stability and control of nonlinear systems".[5]
