To guide faculty and students to keep abreast of the cutting-edge developments in connected and automated transportation and consolidate the foundation for interdisciplinary innovation, the School of Information Science and Technology invited Distinguished Professor Qing-Long Han, Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, to deliver a special academic report on October 23. Nearly 400 undergraduate and postgraduate students attended the lecture.
Centered on the theme *Future-Oriented Transportation: Coordinated Control for Communication Efficiency and Cybersecurity*, the report elaborated on advanced theories including event-triggered coordinated regulation and resilient control against cyberattacks, analyzed the core bottlenecks hindering the large-scale deployment of intelligent transportation systems, and identified key research directions for the field.
During the Q&A session, a student asked how undergraduates could lay a solid foundation and conduct in-depth research on intelligent transportation. Professor Qing-Long Han encouraged students to master fundamental theories in control and communications, adopt an interdisciplinary perspective, follow the latest research advances, and develop a research mindset that integrates theories with engineering practice.
Professor Han is a Fellow of multiple top international academic societies, a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher in both engineering and computer science, and the recipient of numerous prestigious international academic awards. This high-end academic exchange has broadened the academic vision of faculty and students, inspired interdisciplinary innovation, and effectively motivated young scholars to pursue research in intelligent transportation.
