Weinan Gao is a professor at Northeastern University, China. He received his PhD from New York University and previously held positions at Florida Tech, Georgia Southern, and MERL. His research focuses on reinforcement learning, adaptive optimal control, and intelligent transportation systems. He is an associate editor of IEEE TNNLS, IEEE/CAA JAS and Control Engineering Practice. He is the recipient of the best paper award in IEEE DDCLS, ICCAIS and RCAR. Zhong-Ping Jiang is an institute professor at the Tandon School of Engineering, New York University, USA. He received the MSc. degree from the University of Paris XI, France, in 1989, and the PhD from the ParisTech-Mines, France, in 1993. His research interests include stability theory, constructive nonlinear control, learning-based control with applications to information, mechanical, biological and transportation systems. He is a member of the Academia Europaea and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. Andreas A. Malikopoulos is a professor at Cornell University, USA. He received a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Michigan. His research interests are grounded at the intersection of learning and control to enable systems to operate autonomously. His work integrates decision-theoretic foundations with learning-based methods to endow engineered systems with the capability to reason, learn, and act in real time.
