Jagannathan Sarangapani (referred to as S. Jagannathan) is a Rutledge-Emerson endowed chair professor of electrical and computer engineering and the site director for the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Intelligent Maintenance Systems at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA (former University of Missouri-Rolla, USA). Widely published and highly decorated with 20 US patents, he is a fellow of the Institute of Measurement and Control, UK, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology, UK. He has been on the organizing committees of several IEEE conferences, and served as the IEEE Control Systems Society Intelligent Control Technical Committee chair.Hao Xu earned his master’s degree in electrical engineering from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 2009, and his Ph.D from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA (formerly, the University of Missouri-Rolla, USA), in 2012. Currently, he is an assistant professor in the College of Science and Engineering and the director of the Unmanned Systems Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, USA. His research interests include autonomous unmanned aircraft systems, multi-agent systems, wireless passive sensor networks, localization, detection, networked control systems, cyber-physical systems, distributed network protocol design, optimal control, and adaptive control.
