IEEE Member

Guizhou University, China

Shaohua Luo is currently a Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Guizhou University. He is a provincial outstanding young scientific and technological talents, leader of provincial university innovation research group, special invited expert of ‘Enterprise Innovation Post’ and academic leader of Guizhou University.

My research interests include the dynamics analysis of special electromechanical systems and network, analog circuit design and intelligent control, adaptive and optimal controls, application of artificial intelligence technology in electromechanical systems. In recent years, I have presided over several research projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Provincial Natural Science Foundation of China, and participated in several research works such as the National 863 Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, e.g., key projects, general projects and international (regional) cooperation and exchange  projects. Some theoretical and application achievements have been made in key science and technology such as intelligent manufacturing, autonomous intelligent system, high-performance  electromechanical drive system and equipment. I have published 50 research papers in authoritative academic journals at home and abroad, acquired 22 authorized invention patents including four British invention patents and one America invention patents, did the transformation of two invention patents, and served as the director of innovation research group of provincial universities and key projects of ESI potential discipline promotion plan of Guizhou University. Meanwhile I have won the second prize of Excellence, and relevant research results  have been positively cited by well-known experts in this field.
