Biography
Bo received the M.Sc. degree in Control Theory and Engineering from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2018. He received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering (dynamics and control) from Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA, in 2022. His doctoral thesis focused on the study of cooperative control for heterogeneous underactuated multi-vehicle systems and extremum-seeking control. He is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar working on the development of models of electromagnetic and thermal behavior for superconducting electric machines. His research interests include nonlinear control theory (robust, adaptive, passive, etc.), underactuated systems, nonholonomic systems, geometric control theory, networked control systems, extremum-seeking control, and robotics.
