AWARDS & HONORS

Prof. Ling SHI obtained his B.E. from EEE (now ECE), HKUST, in 2002 and Ph.D. from CDS, Caltech, in 2008. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, and the associate director of the Robotics Institute, both at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research interests include cyber-physical systems security, networked control systems, sensor scheduling, event-based state estimation, and multi-agent robotic systems (UAVs and UGVs). He served as an editorial board member for the European Control Conference 2013-2016. He was a subject editor for International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control (2015-2017), an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems (2016-2020), an associate editor for IEEE Control Systems Letters (2017-2020), and an associate editor for a special issue on Secure Control of Cyber Physical Systems in IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems (2015-2017). He also served as the General Chair of the 23rd International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS 2018). He is a member of the Young Scientists Class 2020 of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and he is a fellow of IEEE (Class 2023).
