Abstract

Transportation systems are undergoing  extensive transformations with the introduction of new technologies and  infrastructure upgrades. Vehicle electrification has been a clear technology  trend, as manifested by the sustained increase in market  penetration of hybrid and electric automobiles and the emergence of all-electric ships and electrified  airplanes. Vehicle connectivity is changing the transportation  technology landscape through vehicle to vehicle  (V2V) and vehicle to grid (V2G) communications and interactions.These exciting  technology innovations are being enabled by control systems, and they impose  new challenges and open up more  opportunities for our research community. In this talk, we will discuss  the technology challenges of electrified  and connected vehicles and their implications on control and system optimization. Through several examples  that involve hybrid electric vehicle and all-electric ship  technology development, we will demonstrate the  important roles of control technologies in the era of electrified  and connected vehicles, and highlight the  demands for more effective modeling and design methodologies and tools.

Biography

Jing  Sun received her Ph. D degree from the  University of Southern California in 1989,and her B. S. and M. S. degrees from  University of Science and Technology of China in 1982 and  1984 respectively. From 1989-1993, she was an assistant professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering  Department, Wayne State University. She joined Ford Research  Laboratory in 1993 where she worked in the Powertrain Control Systems Department. After spending  almost 10 years in industry, she came back to academia and  joined the faculty of the College of Engineering at the University  of Michigan in 2003, where she is now a  professor in the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine  Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer  Science. Her research interests include system and control theory and its  applications to marine and automotive propulsion  systems. She holds 37 US patents, published over 200 technical  papers on archived journals and conference  proceedings, and has co-authored a textbook on Robust Adaptive Control. She is an IEEE Fellow and one  of the three recipients of the 2003 IEEE Control System Technology  Award.
