Professor CHEN Hong, Dean of the College of Electronic and Information Engineering of Tongji University, was elected IEEE Fellow for 2023

Professor CHEN Hong, a member of the Chinese Society of Automation and the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineering, has long been engaged in the teaching and research of advanced control, nonlinear control, and application in vehicle systems, focusing on predictive optimal control, vehicle control, and automatic driving. She proposed a quasi-infinite time domain predictive control approach and established a theoretical framework for the stability and robustness of predictive control, which was widely recognized internationally. Her achievements were included in English textbooks and published in top journals in the field of control. She proposed a parallel solution to constrained optimization driven by data and headed the research and development of the vehicle predictive control technology under an intelligent network environment, which was applied to mass production vehicles such as energy-saving cruise and motion domain collaboration. She suggested the intelligent evaluation theory and practice of autonomous vehicles and headed the research and development of hardware in the loop test equipment, which was applied to the research and development certification test of the auto-drive system.

Professor CHEN Hong proposed and promoted the establishment of the Joint Fund for the Innovation and Development of the Automobile Industry of the National Natural Science Fund, which led basic research for solving the key core technologies of China's automobile industry. She established the Vehicle Control and Intelligence Special Committee of the Chinese Society of Automation and served as the first chairman of the committee, promoting the deep cross-integration of academia and industry, information science, and vehicle science.
