Professor and doctoral supervisor of Peking University, Senior Member of IEEE, member of ETTC of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. In 1997, he received a doctoral degree in engineering from the Department of Radio Engineering of Southeast University. Then in the University of Science and Technology of China, he completed his post-doctoral research, and became associate professor and then “One-Hundred Talents” professor. In 2005, he was selected into the Hundred Talents Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1999 and between 2004-2005, he was a researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His interest of research includes computational intelligence, swarm intelligence, machine learning, data mining and knowledge discovery and their applications. Remarkable achievements have been made in the fields of neural network information processing, evolutionary computing and group computing, artificial immune system and its application in computer security. He won the second prize of State Natural Science Award in 2009, 5 Military Science and Technology Progress Awards and many excellent thesis awards. He is the chief editor of International Journal of Computational Intelligence and Pattern Recognition, associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning System, and deputy editor and editorial board member of more than ten important international/domestic academic journals. He served as co-chairman of IEEE WCCI2014 (CEC) Procedure Committee, chairman of International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI) (2010-2014), co-chairman of ICSI-CCI2015 and other important positions in several international conferences. He was once an expert reviewer for China Scholarship Council, National Science and Technology Major Project and National Office for Science and Technology Awards.

Professor and Dean of College of Mechatronic Engineering at North University of China. He has published more than 20 papers both in and outside China, and hosted more than 10 national research programmes. His interest of research includes Polytetrafluoroethylenes; Shaped Charges; Deflagration; Iron Aluminides; Intermetallics; Mechanical Alloying; Anti-Ship Missile; Terminal Guidance and Warheads.

His research focuses on human activity, mobility and behaviour recognition and prediction using machine and deep learning techniques, gathering data with wearable sensors and/or cameras. He is author of more than 50 publications in international journals and congress, 2 patents and 2 registered software applications. In 2012 and 2013 he was chosen as Chair of Technical Committee of the international contest EvAAL for the track “Activity Recognition for AAL”, being this contest part of the European project FP7 UniversAAL where teams from leading Universities from the USA, EU and Japan took part in. He also was chosen as an expert on the technical committee of the competition Pedestrian Dead Reckoning Challenge part of Ubicomp in 2015. He has participated in more than 20 public or privately funded R&D projects, being the director of 13 of them and he has also been a reviewer of several impact factor journals and international conferences. From 2014 he is software and product design mentor at Andalucía Open Future, a Spanish start-up accelerator established by Telefónica and Andalucía regional government.

He worked in the field of barrel weapons dynamics from 1979 to 1998 and taught at Military Academy (since 2004 - the University of Defence) in Brno - MA. He created nonlinear hydro- mechanical models for sensitivity analysis of barrel vibrations (PhD Dissertation (1983), MA in Brno) and for senstitivity analysis of the cannon recoil control (Habilitation Dissertation (1993), MA in Brno). He co-organized many experimets. He worked in the field of mechatronics from 2002 to 2016. He has developed Passive Opto-electronic Rangefinders (POERFs) for the security and military use. POERFs can be incorporated into Fire Control Systems and Reconnaissance Systems. Since 2010 He also deal with interior and exterior ballistics. In particular, he research the influence of meteorological conditions on changes in projectile trajectory. He is author and co-author of 9 patents and over 100 papers and research reports.
