Personal profile    

Dabo Xu received the B.Sc. degree in mathematics and applied mathematics from Qufu Normal University, China, in 2003, the M.Sc. degree in operations research and cybernetics from Northeastern University, China, in 2006, and the Ph.D. degree in automation and computer-aided engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China, in 2010. He held postdoctoral positions at Chinese University of Hong Kong and University of New South Wales at Canberra, respectively, and then faculty position at Nanjing University of Science and Technology. He joined South China University of Technology in June 2022.

He is currently a professor with the Shien-Ming Wu School of Intelligent Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. His current research interests include topics on nonlinear feedback stabilization, tracking, disturbance rejection, optimal regulation, and distributed control of multi-agent systems. The interested engineering applications include autonomous industrial mobile robot manipulators and multi-rotor UAVs from intelligent design and manufacturing to control.
