Fengjiao Liu

Fengjiao Liu is an Assistant Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering (2024–present). Previously, they held postdoctoral positions at Georgia Institute of Technology (2021–2024) and Yale University (2020–2021), following a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Yale (2014–2020) and a B.E. from Nanyang Technological University (2008–2012). Their research focuses on structural properties of dynamical systems, distributed control of multi-channel systems, and optimal control of stochastic systems. Key contributions include graphical characterizations of controllability, distributed feedback control designs, and covariance steering methods for stochastic systems. Liu also serves as a reviewer for top journals like IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and has taught courses in control systems analysis and multivariable calculus.

Research interests span stochastic control, complex networks, and structural system analysis. Their work bridges algebraic system properties with graphical representations to guide network design and collective behavior modeling. Distributed control methodologies developed aim to improve performance in smart grids and home automation systems. Recent efforts focus on quantifying uncertainty evolution in stochastic systems through optimal covariance steering techniques.
