CHINESE VERSION



Lei GUO was born in China in 1961. He received the B.S. degree in mathematics from Shandong University in 1982, and the Ph.D. degree in control theory from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1987.He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National University (1987-1989), and a visiting professor at several universities in the US and Europe. Since 1992, he has been a Professor of the Institute of Systems Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where he had been the Director of the Institute (1999-2002). He is currently the President of the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, CAS.

Dr. Guo was elected Fellow of the IEEE in 1998, Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001, Fellow of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) in 2002, Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 2007, and Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 2007 “for fundamental contributions to the theory of adaptive control and estimation of stochastic systems, and to the understanding of the maximum capability of feedback”. He has twice received, in 1987 and 1997, the National Natural Science Prize of China. He was also the recipient of the 1993 IFAC World Congress Young Author Prize "for solving a long standing problem in control theory concerning convergence and convergence rate for the least-squares–based self-tuning regulators". He was invited to give lectures at various international conferences, including Plenary Lecture at the 1999 International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) World Congress, and Invited Lecture at the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM). 

He is currently a Council Member of IFAC, 
a Member of IEEE Control Systems Award Committee,the President of the China Society for Industry and Applied Mathematics, a Vice-President of the Chinese Association of Automation,the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Systems Science and Complexity .Dr. Guo had been an Associate Editor of the SIAM J. on Control and Optimization (1991-1993), the Chairman of the IFAC Technical Committee on Modeling, Identification and Signal Processing (1999- 2002), a member of the IFAC Award Committee(2005-2008),and Vice-President of the Chinese Mathematical Society(2004-2007).

He has worked on problems in adaptive control, system identification, stochastic systems, nonstationary time-series analysis and adaptive signal processing. His current research interests include the maximum capability and limitations of feedback,  multi-agent systems, complex adaptive systems and quantum control systems.
