2.Supervisors
(1) Professor Shiping Huang
Email: ctasihuang@scut.edu.cn
Prof. Shiping Huang has been with South China University of Technology since 2011. He received his bachelor degree at South China University of Technology in 2002. Then he went to Southeast University for his mater degree, majoring in structural engineering. He finished his Ph.D degree in civil engineering at the University of Kansas in 2011. From 2014 to 2016, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at John’s Hopkins University.
Dr. Huang is an associate professor in civil engineering. Dr.Huang's research interests include computational mechanics, experimental mechanics and structural health monitoring. He has received over 7 million RMB research funding, including 3 NSFC projects （served as a PI）. He published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles，5 patents and 15 softwares.
(2) Professor Enrique Zuazua
Email: enrique.zuazua@fau.de
Prof. Enrique Zuazua (Eibar, Basque Country – Spain, 1961) holds an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at the Friedrich–Alexander University (FAU), Erlangen–Nürnberg (Germany). He is also the Director of the Chair of Computational Mathematics at Deusto Foundation, Universidad de Deusto, Bilbao (Basque Country-Spain) where he leads the research team funded by the ERC – European Research Council Advanced Grant “DyCon: Dynamic Control”. He is also a Professor of Applied Mathematics since 2001 in the Department of Mathematics of the UAM - Autonomous University of Madrid where he holds a Strategic Chair.
His fields of expertise in the area of Applied Mathematics cover topics related with Partial Differential Equations, Systems Control and Numerical Analysis. His work in the interface between Control Systems Theory and Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing has led to some fruitful collaboration with different industrial sectors such as the optimal shape design in aeronautics and the management of electrical and water distribution networks. He is the editor in chief of the Journal Mathematical Control and Related Fields, the coordinator of the BCAM – SpringerBriefs Series and member of the editorial committee on many Journals and scientific committees.
