Abstract: In the ever-lasting efforts of reducing emissions, improving efficiencies, and enhancing safety for ground vehicles, importance of control and estimation systems has been growing rapidly due to the substantially elevated system complexities contributed by the fast technological advances in various relevant fields. Accompanied with the quick evolution of vehicle technologies, designs of vehicle estimation and control systems have become much more challenging and critical as well. Synergistic combinations of physical insight into vehicle system characteristics with theories of estimation and control may offer effective means for tackling such challenges. This talk introduces a variety of vehicle system estimation and control research activities aiming to clean, efficient, and safe ground transportation. Innovative syntheses of estimation and control theories with physical understanding of engine, aftertreatment, and vehicle chassis systems will be emphasized through examples. Along with the system analytical designs, experimental and simulation results will be given to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of the control systems for current and future ground vehicles.
Bio: Prof. Junmin Wang received the B.E. degree in Automotive Engineering and M.S. degree in Power Machinery and Engineering from the Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1997 and 2000, respectively, the second and third M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2003, and the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2007.
Prof. Wang has five years of full-time industrial research experience (May 2003 - August 2008) at Southwest Research Institute (San Antonio, Texas). Since September 2008, he has been the Director of the Vehicle Systems and Control Laboratory (VSCL) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
