CAS Academician Prof. Guo Lei delivered an Invited Lecture at ICIAM 2023

The 10th International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM 2023) was held on August 20-25, 2023 in Tokyo, Japan. The ICIAM is the highest level, largest and most influential academic event in the field of industrial and applied mathematics, and is held every four years. CAS Academician Prof. Guo Lei from AMSS was one of the 27 renowned applied mathematicians around the world who delivered Invited Lectures at this congress.

 On the morning of August 25th, Prof. Guo Lei delivered an invited lecture entitled "Learning and Feedback in the Control of Uncertain Dynamical Systems", in which he shared his discoveries and research progress made with his collaborators in the field of control of uncertain dynamical systems. He pointed out that learning and feedback are complementary mechanisms in coping with uncertainties in dynamic systems, and are also two key mechanisms in intelligent systems. Learning plays a fundamental role in the design and operation of intelligent systems, while feedback makes it possible for the system itself to effectively cope with the influences of various uncertainties in an open and complex environment.

 The basic ideas and results presented in this presentation are expected to provide insights and inspirations for the further integration of machine learning and feedback control, and to promote the development of the fundamental theory of intelligent systems under uncertainty.

 Prof. Guo Lei graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Shandong University in 1982, and received his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of System Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1987. He is currently a professor at AMSS and the director of the National Center for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (NCMIS) of the CAS. He was the director of AMSS and the president of the China Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He is mainly engaged in basic theory and related applied research in the field of systems and control, especially in adaptive systems (including adaptive estimation, adaptive filtering, adaptive control, adaptive games), control of nonlinear uncertain systems, maximum capacity of feedback mechanisms, collective behavior of flocking with large population, game-based control systems, and complex systems science. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Developing World, a foreign member of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control, and  was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden. In 2019, He was awarded the Hendrik W. Bode Lecture Prize by the IEEE Control Systems Society "for fundamental and practical contributions to the fields of adaptive control, system identification, adaptive signal processing, stochastic systems, and applied mathematics".
