Biography:
Zongli Lin received his B.S. degree in mathematics and computer science from Amoy University, Xiamen, China, in 1983, his Master of Engineering degree in automatic control from Chinese Academy of Space Technology, Beijing, China, in 1989, and his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, in May 1994. His current research interests include nonlinear control, robust control, and control applications.
From July 1983 to July 1986, Dr. Lin worked as a control engineer at Chinese Academy of Space Technology. In February 1994, he joined the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, as a visiting assistant professor, where he became an assistant professor in September 1994. Since July 1997, he has been with the Charles L. Brown Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Virginia, where he is currently the Ferman W. Perry Professor.
