YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD |
| Associate Professor
GE Shuzhi, Sam |
| Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering |
The Young Researcher Award
is given to Assoc Prof Ge for his significant contributions to
the fundamental theoretical development of stable neural network
control and its practical implementation.
Assoc Prof Ge thrives on the construction
and deconstruction of knowledge. A self-professed perfectionist,
Assoc Prof Ge's dogged persistence is his strongest suit. The
resultant focus characterises him as a researcher. Spurred by
childhood readings about inventors like Albert Einstein and the
Wright Brothers, he has cultivated a lifelong fascination with
innovations and the discovery of new knowledge. Keeping abreast
of the cutting-edge, coupled with an eagerness to push the frontiers
of knowledge, has become his modus operandi.
His award-winning research in the field
of stable adaptive neural control is a response to the absence
of a firm mathematical basis in stability, robustness and performance
analysis of neural network adaptive control systems. His contributions
include the development of the Ge-Lee matrix and its operator
as a flexible tool in the analysis of structured networks, unified
control for robots by exploiting their physical properties, pioneer
control system design for nonlinear systems, and the practical
implementation of these findings.
Characteristic of his pursuit of excellence,
Assoc Prof Ge sees the honour given by the University not only
as a tribute, but also as an encouragement to him to surge forward
- to raise neural networks to perform at the higher level of
artificial intelligence. His heart and mind are already into
this dream of building a robot that can solve real-life problems
as intelligently as human beings.
