Student Sharing with the Head of Unit

EEE Staff Retreat

The Staff Retreat was held in the Hotel ICON on 23 May 2025. The Retreat provided a platform for academic and teaching staff to collaborate and exchange views on key areas, including student engagement, research, teaching and learning, and publicity. Dr K.P. Mark and Mr Kenneth Tam of the Educational Development Centre were also invited to share about Outcome-Based Education this year. Through this annual gathering, more innovative and inspiring ideas are discussed to drive the Department’s future growth and development.

Seminar on "Multiobjective Complementary Control and Its Application to Mean-Field Games" by Dr Jiapeng Xu

Date: 9 May 2025, Friday Time: 4:30 pm Venue: Room FYW-3316, City University of Hong Kong Zoom Meeting ID: 899 0158 1173 Password: 123456 Speaker: Dr Jiapeng Xu, Hong Kong Polytechnic University   Multiobjective Complementary Control and Its Application to Mean-Field Games Dr Jiapeng Xu, Hong Kong Polytechnic University   Abstract:This presentation introduces an interesting control design paradigm for linear time-invariant systems: multiobjective complementary control (MOCC), in which nominal performance and robustness can be achieved in a complementary way instead of a trade-off. In particular, a state-space solution is first established for a new stabilizing control structure consisting of two independently designed controllers coordinated with a Youla-type operator Q. It is then shown by performance analysis that these two independently designed controllers operate in a naturally complementary way for a tracking control system, due to the coordination function of Q driven by the residual signal of a Luenberger observer. An application of MOCC in robust mean-field games is presented. It is shown that the MOCC framework achieves a complementary mean-field control strategy, in contrast to the existing worst-case strategy.   Speaker’s Bio:Jiapeng Xu received the Ph.D. degree in control science and engineering at the East China University of Science and Technology, China, in 2021. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the University of Windsor, Canada, from September 2021 to July 2024, with the University of Victoria, Canada, from July 2024 to September 2024, and with the City University of Hong Kong, China, from October 2024 to January 2025. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China. His research interests include networked control, multiobjective complementary control, time-delay systems, and mean-field games. Dr. Xu is an Associate Editor for International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems. He received the Chinese Association of Automation (CAA) Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award in 2022.   WEBINAR WEBSITE: https://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/~cccn/webinar/
