Fuchun SUN

Fuchun SUN is a Full-time Professor at Tsinghua University's Department of Computer Science and Technology, where he has been affiliated since 1998. He holds a Bachelor's (1986) and Master's (1989) in Automation from the Institute of Naval Aeronautical Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science & Technology from Tsinghua University (1997). Prof. SUN serves as Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Technology and Systems and holds editorial positions in IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Soft Computing.

Research Focus: His work spans Intelligent Control, Robotics, Networked Control Systems, and Artificial Cognitive Systems. He pioneers neuro-fuzzy modeling, adaptive control of nonlinear systems, and Markov jump system filtering, with applications in spacecraft, mobile robots, and flexible manipulators. Research projects include National 863 High-Tech Programs and National Basic Research (973) Programs on hyperspace vehicle control and multi-satellite networking.

Publications Trend: His 15 most recent articles (2002–2010) demonstrate consistent focus on neuro-fuzzy adaptive control, robotics, Markov jump systems, and H-infinity filtering. Over 80% involve experimental validation of theoretical frameworks for robotic manipulators and nonlinear systems.
