In the morning of January 12, 2015, a remarkable academic lecture entitled “Data-driven Control and Optimization for Industrial Processes” was held by the School of Automation Science and Engineering in Building 3. The lecture was given by Professor Biosketch F.L. Lewis, who is the Distinguished Scholar Professor, the Distinguished Teaching Professor, and Moncrief-O Donnell Endowed Chair of the University of Texas at Arlington. He is also the Fellow of IEEE, IFAC and U.K. Institute of Measurement & Control.
The lecture was hosted by Prof. Hailong Pei, who is the vice Dean of School of Automation Science and Engineering. At the beginning of this lecture, Prof. Lewis presented the importance of control theory and control decision in industrial processes and introduced the basic concept of optimal feedback control. What’s more, he proposed the unknown dynamic models of DDC and DDO, and brought up some effective modeling methods based on the real-time optimal feedback controller. During the lecture, Prof. Lewis not only showed us some pictures of Chinese culture and scenery, but also shared his love of China.
