Hong Chen (engineer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hong Chen (Chinese: 陈虹, born 1963[1]) is a Chinese engineer specializing in control theory and its application to automotive control systems and automated driving.[2][3] She is a distinguished professor of control science and engineering at Tongji University in Shanghai,[4], dean of the Tongji University College of Electronic and Information Engineering, and holder of the Porsche Chair at Tongji University.[2]

Education and career[edit]

Chen was a student of process control at Zhejiang University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1983 and a master's degree in 1986.[4][5] In 1986, she joined the faculty of Jilin University.[4] She went to the University of Stuttgart in Germany for doctoral study in system dynamics and control engineering, beginning in 1993, and completed her Ph.D. there in 1997.[4][5] Her dissertation, Stability and Robustness Considerations in Nonlinear Model Predictive Control, was supervised by Frank Allgöwer [de].[6]

She returned to Jilin in 1999 as a professor, later becoming Tang Aoqing Professor and Director of the State Key Laboratory of Automotive Simulation and Control.[4] In 2019 she moved to Tongji University as a distinguished professor; she was named as the dean of the College of Electronic and Information Engineering in 2020.[5]

Recognition[edit]

Chen was elected as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2023 class of fellows, "for contributions to predictive control and applications in automotive systems".[3]
