Analysis and Design of Nonlinear Systems in the Frequency Domain

Dr. Yunpeng Zhu received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Automation in 2013 and 2015, respectively, from Northeastern University, China. In 2020, he received a PhD in Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, which was fully supported by a scholarship of the Faculty of Engineering at Sheffield University. He is currently a Research Associate working on a £1.6 million UK EPSRC project led by Prof Z Q Lang, at the University of Sheffield and involving 3 other UK universities and 6 industry partners.
