Zhiyong Chen received his B.Eng. degree in Automatic Control from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2000. He then earned his M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical and Automation Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2002 and 2005, respectively. From 2005 to 2006, he was a Research Associate at the University of Virginia. In 2006, he joined the University of Newcastle, Australia, where he is currently a Professor. He was also an honorary Changjiang Chair Professor at Central South University, China. His research primarily focuses on nonlinear control theory and its applications. He has published a textbook titled "Stabilization and Regulation of Nonlinear Systems," over 180 journal papers, and more than 100 conference papers. He has also served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Automatica, and several other prestigious journals.
