Happy New Year 2020, ZJUers！

WE WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey! Did you realize that the CSE English website has been relaunched for more than one year? Have you ever been curious about who are running it behind the scene?In fact, it is not "Someone" but a team called CSE International Communications Team. During the year, the team memebers have tried best to present the CSE college for you. They complete introductions, report news, update events, make interviews, display life on campus and charm of Hangzhou as well as capture the breath-taking moments, from the romantic cherry blossoms in spring to the fairy-like snow in winter.They try to design publicity materials including brochures, leaflets, folders, slides, etc., learning by doing even if they have never done them before just to give you a diverse perspective.They care about what you want, and chase what you love. On the last day of the year 2019, let's zoom in and get to know these amazing people――  YU HongxiangPh.D. Candidate, Institute of Cyber-Systems and Control - Class 2017/2Research Direction: RoboticsAbout MeI stay in laboratory doing research or writing code for the most of my time, but go out for exercise regularly. I am a fan of keeping small animals and I’ve raised cats, dogs, hamsters and turtles. Another label of mine is an amateur food critic. I have tried almost all the restaurants around Yuquan Capmus, and I guess that somehow makes me a major contributor in reporting student life.To 2019Our team is awesome! I am very lucky to work here to meet so many great friends. ZHANG DuoPh.D. Candidate, Institute of Industrial Process Control - Class 2018/4Research Direction: Process System EngineeringStudent Leader of the CSE WeChat Official AccountAbout Me I enjoy discovering the unknown and believe connection is better than isolation. I am working on large-scale optimization of air seperation process and also interested in aeronautical or space applications. I am satisfied with my research and eager to create more value.To 2019Witnessing highlights and looking forward! REN TongPostgraduate, Institute of Industrial Process Control - Class 2018/1Program: Cyberspace SecurityAbout MeOpen your WeChat and scan my code. -- from someone who doesn’t know how to introduce herself.To 2019 Keep learning and growing in the warm team CSE Intl Comm.SHI FeiPostgraduate, Institute of Smart Sensing and Measurement - Class 2018/1Program: Smart Sensing and MeasurementAbout MeI am an outgoing person and a fitness enthusiast. I live with my sincere heart.To 2019I can act on them. And I do.NI YinjieUndergraduate, Automation(Control) Class 1604About MeI enjoy international commuications with a specialty in photography, and I sincerely hope the CSE college would be more well-known world-wide.To 2019In the team I mainly takes charge of photography and design, which enhances my competency in visual publicity. I work very well with all the team members and feel so joyful to see all the plans became reality. WANG ZhichengUndergraduate, Automation(Control) Class 1602About MeA 22-year-old guy with 12-year experience in robotics.To 2019It is definitely one of the most exciting experiences in my undergraduate years working for the CSE Intl Comm. It gives me a brand new perspective to perceive the achievement of the CSE college, and a lot more confidence to be a better me in it.  Want to meet us in person? There are still 12 hours to come in the year 2019:p Wherever you are, in 2020 we would continue trying our best to present a more vivid CSE for you. We are CSEICT, and we wish you all a Happy New Year!Reporter: SHI FeiEditor: WANG Jing

CREATE Action Plan released to boost ZJU’s global profile

HU Kang & CHEN Yuhao win the IEEE Globecom 2019 Best Paper Award

The IEEE Globecom 2019 Best Paper Award Ceremony was held in Hawaii on December 12. The research article entitled “iLoc: A Low-Cost Low-Power Outdoor Localization System for Internet of Things”, authored by Ph.D. candidates HU Kang and CHEN Yuhao under the supervision of Prof. HE Shibo, Prof. SHI Zhiguo and Prof. CHEN Jiming from the College of Control Science and Engineering, was honored to win the Best Paper Award. This work is concerned with a LoRa-based localization system for IoT which can reduce energy consumption and hardware costs substantially. It captured immense attention from participating scholars at the IEEE Globecom 2019. It was the only award-winning paper in the Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks session.Reprinted from:  ZJU Newsroom

SUTD Associate Professor Roland Bouffanais visited CSE

On December 16, 2019, Dr. Roland Bouffanais, Associate Professor of Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) visit the College of Control Science and Engineering (CSE), Zhejiang University (ZJU).Dr. Bouffanais gave a report at 1.30 pm in Room 105, CSE New Building. Prof. HOU Dibo, Vice Dean of the CSE College, hosted the meeting and expressed a warm welcome on behalf of the college. The report title is “Optimal Network Topology for Responsive Collective Dynamics”. Animals, humans, and robotic multi-agent systems usually operate in dynamic environments, where the ability to respond to changing circumstances is of paramount importance. An effective collective response requires suitable information transfer among agents, and thus is critically dependent on the agents’ interaction network. In this talk, Dr. Bouffanais presented the recent results published in Science Advances of his team, providing theoretical and experimental results about the emergent collective response of a swarm to perturbations of varying frequencies/timescales. These results have far-reaching practical implications for the design and understanding of distributed systems, since they highlight that a dynamic rewiring of the interaction network is essential to the effective collective operations of multi-agent systems at different time- scales. Dr. Bouffanais also introduced the members and directions of his research team, and had discussion with the CSE scholars and students in research methods, implementation design as well as application in water environment.Roland Bouffanais is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). His research focuses on the interdisciplinary applications at the intersections of complexity, network science, control theory, machine learning, and multi-agent systems. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in top scientific journals and conference proceedings. He authored Design and Control of Swarm Dynamics (2016) -- the only full-length book on the subject --in Springer’s Complexity Series. He received his Ph.D from EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) in computational science for which he was awarded the prestigious IBM Research Prize in Computational Sciences (2008), and the ERCOFTAC Da Vinci Award Silver Medal (2007). He was a postdoctoral fellow and associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and remains a research associate with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.Reported by: SHI FeiPhoto: ZHU YanniEditor: WANG Jing
