Dr. Jiong Tang
Pratt & Whitney Endowed Chair Professor in Design and Manufacturing
The Dynamics, Sensing, and Controls Laboratory (DSCL) is directed by Dr. Jiong Tang, Pratt & Whitney Endowed Chair Professor in Design and Manufacturing at School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Connecticut. Dr. Tang’s principal teaching and research interests are in the general areas of system dynamics, control, sensing and automation. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Applied Mechanics from Fudan University, China, in 1989 and 1992, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 2001. Prior to joining UConn in 2002, he worked in GE Research Center as a research engineer.
Dr. Tang has studied a series of research subjects including motion and vibration controls, sensing and signal processing, design optimization, computational intelligence and machine learning, modeling and analysis of multi-physics processes, and automation and robotics. Dr. Tang is currently serving as Associate Editor for ASME Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics and Associate Editor for Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, and has served as Technical Editor for IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, Associate Editor for ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, Associate Editor for ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control, and Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement. Dr. Tang has volunteered extensively for the professional community, having recently served as General Co-Chair and Chair for 2022 and 2024 International Symposium on Flexible Automation (ISFA), Program Co-Chair for 2022 International Conference on Motion and Vibration Control (MOVIC), General Chair for 2020 ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference (DSCC), and General Co-Chair ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE), etc. At UConn, Dr. Tang serves as the Co-Director of the Management and Engineering for Manufacturing Program that is a joint program by the School of Business and the College of Engineering.
Dr. Tang is the recipient of 2024 N.O. Myklestad Award of ASME, in recognition of a major innovative contribution to vibration engineering. He received 2022 DoD Defense Manufacturing Achievement Award, for serving as the lead-PI of the project “Virtual Part Repair Programming for Robotic Thermal Spray Applications”. Dr. Tang is a fellow of ASME.
