Shaoyuan Li is the Fellow and Vice President of the Chinese Association of Automation (CAA), Vice President of Qingdao University of Science and Technology, and Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University. His research focuses on adaptive predictive control, satisfactory optimization control, intelligent control, and industrial applications for networked distributed systems and full-process production systems. Key academic contributions include proposing multi-model predictive control for fuzzy-modeled nonlinear systems, constraint-satisfactory optimization control with fuzzy objectives, and neighborhood optimization-based distributed predictive control.
