Biography

Lihua Xie received Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from The University of Newcastle, Australia, in 1992, B.E. and M.E. degrees in control engineering from Nanjing University of Science and Technology in 1983 and 1986, respectively. From April 1986 to January 1989, he was a teaching assistant and then a lecturer in the Department of Automatic Control, Nanjing University of Science and Technology. He joined The Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 1992 where he is currently a Professor at The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He served as the Head of the Division of Control and Instrumentation from July 2011 to June 2014 and the Director, Centre for E-City from July 2011 to June 2013. His current research interests include robust control, networked control, multi-agent systems, sensor networks, energy efficient buildings, and unmanned systems. In these areas, he has published over 560 technical papers including 280 journal papers and co-authored two patents and six books. He was listed as a highly cited researcher in 2014. He received several awards for his research including IBM Faculty Award, Best Paper Awards from the 7th Asian Control Conference, 29th Chinese Control Conference, 6th World Congress of Intelligent Control and Automation, and 6th Int. Conf. on Information, Communications, and Signal Processing. He is currently an Editor-in-Chief of Unmanned Systems and an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Control System Technology and Sciences in China.
