Dr. Jason Zheng Jiang
University of Bristol, UK

Bio: Jason Zheng Jiang received his bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from Shaghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai, China, and a PhD in the Control Group, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, UK. He was subsequently a research associate at the University of Cambridge before becoming a lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Bristol, UK, in 2013. Dr. Jiang is now a senior lecturer at the University of Bristol, leading the Vibration Suppression Research Unit, within the Dynamics and Control Research Group. He received the John Jarrett Davis Prize for best paper from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 2016 and led research projects funded by research councils and companies in multiple industrial sectors. His research focusses on passive, semi-active and active control, design of vibration absorbers, vehicle system dynamics and network synthesis theory. He is also interested in system and control theory in general.
