School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Ohio University
Jianchao (Jim) Zhu received the B.S. Degree in Industrial Automation from the Beijing Polytechnic University in 1976. From the University of Alabama in Huntsville he received the M.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1984, the M.A. Degree in Mathematics in 1986, and the Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering with an honor of Highest Academic Achievement in 1989. Zhu joined Louisiana State University (LSU) in July, 1990, where he held the positions of Assistant Professor and Associate Professor through August 2000. Since then he has been with the Ohio University where he is currently a Professor.
Dr. Zhu's main research area and contribution is in time-varying linear systems theory and nonlinear control system design. His current research interests and activities include linear and nonlinear dynamical and control systems theory, with applications in aerospace vehicles, robotics and smart materials. To date he has published more than 100 papers in mathematical and engineering journals and conference proceedings. Since 1990 he has served as principal investigator (PI) or Co-PI on sponsored research projects totaling more than $4 million, including nearly $3M projects on aerospace vehicle guidance and flight control systems and closed-loop aerodynamic flow control.
Dr. Zhu received the NSF Research Initiation Award in 1991. He was an AFOSR Summer Faculty Associate in 1995, a NASA Summer Research Fellow in 1999, and a National Research Council Summer Research Fellow in 2002. Dr. Zhu is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Senior Member of AIAA. He was a technical associate editor of the Control Systems Magazine from 1996-1997, an Associate Editor of the IEEE Control System Society (CSS) Conference Editorial Board (CEB) from 1994-1997, and the CEB Chair/Editor from 1998-2001. He was the 34th Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) Program Committee Vice-Chairman, the 43rd CDC Publication Chair and the General Chair for the 28th IEEE Southeastern Symposium on System Theory (SSST). He was an Elected Member of the IEEE CSS Board of Governors from 2001-2003. He is currently an Associate Editor for International Journal and Control, Automation and Systems.
