Inspired by biology and the study on human behavior, computational intelligent systems refer to a class of “sophisticated” systems which can solve problems that normally require the intelligence of a human being. Beyond traditional methods, the computational intelligence based approach has some valuable characteristics, such as the adaptive learning, distributed association, nonlinear mapping, as well as fault tolerance. It has found many applications in system identification, adaptive control, signal processing, optimization, etc.
Computational intelligence, by its nature, is a research field for multidisciplinary studies. I am looking for graduate students from all engineering disciplines (especially Electrical, Computer, Biomedical, and Mechnical Engineering), and Mathematics. Students with strong programming skills and mathematical background are preferred.
Some potential projects include computational intelligence applications in medical diagnosis, power network, traffic signal control, smart sensor network for civil infrastructures, robotics, etc.
