报告人简历：
Naira Hovakimyan received her Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics in 1992, in Moscow, from the Institute of Applied Mathematics of Russian Academy of Sciences. Upon her Ph.D. she joined the Institute of Mechanics, Armenian Academy of Sciences, as a research scientist, where she worked till 1997. In 1997 she has been awarded a governmental postdoctoral scholarship to work in INRIA, France. She is the recipient of the SICE International scholarship for the best paper of a young investigator in the VII ISDG Symposium (Japan, 1996). In 1998 she was invited to the School of Aerospace Engineering of Georgia Tech, where she worked as a research faculty member until 2003. In 2003 she joined the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering of Virginia Tech, and in 2008 she moved to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she is a professor and Schaller faculty scholar. She is the author of over 200 refereed publications. She is senior member of the IEEE (CSS, NNS), Associate fellow of AIAA, member of AMS, SIAM, ISDG, and is serving as Associate Editor for the IEEE Control Systems Society, IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, Computational Management Science of Springer, Mathematics in Engineering, Science and Aerospace. She is the 2004, 2005 and 2007 recipient of Pride@Boeing award, the plenary speaker of 2007 SIAM Conference on Control and Its Applications, 2009 IASTED Conference on Identification and Control Applications, 2010 International Symposium on Systems and Control in Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 2008 she received Dean’s Award for Research Excellence at Virginia Tech. She was named outstanding reviewer for AIAA Journal of Guidance, Control and Dynamics in 2008 and 2009. Her current interests are in the theory of robust adaptive control and estimation with an emphasis on aerospace applications, control in the presence of limited information, networks of autonomous systems, game theory and are supported by AFOSR, ARO, AFRL, ONR, NASA and The Boeing Co.
