KEYNOTE SPEAKER I IN ICMIMT 2023
Prof. Robert Gao, Case Western Reserve University, USA
Fellow of IEEE
Robert Gao is the Cady Staley Professor of Engineering and Department Chair of Me-chanical and Aerospace Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Since receiving his Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Berlin, Ger-many in 1991, he has been working on physics-based sensing methods, stochastic mod-eling and machine learning for improving the observability of dynamical systems such as manufacturing equipment and processes, with the goal to improve process and product quality control. The outcome of his work has been reflected in more than 400 technical papers, including 180 journal articles, 13 patents, and three books that he co-authored with his co-workers.
Prof. Gao is a Fellow of the IEEE, SME, ASME, and CIRP (International Academy for Production Engineering). He has received multiple honors and awards, including the ASME Blackall Ma-chine Tool and Gage Award, SME Eli Whitney Productivity Award, IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society’s Technical Award, IEEE Best Application in Instrumental and Measurement Award, multiple Best Paper awards, and the NSF CAREER award. He is currently serving as a Senior Editor for the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.
