Xianghong Xue (薛向宏)

I am an associate professor and master's supervisor at the School of Automation and Information Engineering, Xi'an University of Technology, where I serve as deputy director of the Department of Information and Control Engineering. My research focuses on cooperative control of UAV swarms, spacecraft formation control, and robot motion planning. I have been the principal investigator of projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and the Shaanxi Provincial Key R&D Program, and have participated in national-level projects including NSFC key projects. I have published over 40 SCI/EI papers in the aerospace field, and serve as a reviewer for well-known journals such as IEEE TAES, IEEE TFS, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and the Journal of Astronautics. Before that, I received my Ph.D. from the School of Astronautics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, co-advised by Prof. Xiaokui Yue. Students interested in aerospace are welcome to join our team. Contact: xhxue@xaut.edu.cn.
