Dr Wasif Naeem BEng (1st), MSc, PhD is a Reader (Associate Professor) within the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at QUB and is also a member of the Centres for Intelligent Autonomous Manufacturing Systems (i-AMS) and Energy, Power and Intelligent Control (EPIC). His doctoral research was part of an EPSRC-funded academia-industry collaborative project to develop an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). He is the recipient of EPSRC, InnovateUK and European grants as the Principal Investigator. Currently, he is the coordinator of the Smart-Edu4.0 programme funded by Erasmus+ (~\u20ac420k) whilst also heading the Intellectual Outcomes of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes development in Mechatronics. He is also leading collision avoidance research for a hydrofoiling electric ferry as part of a \u00a335M project led by Artemis Technologies. Dr Naeem\u2019s research interests span optimal control, system identification, process control and systems engineering. Dr Naeem is a member of the prestigious EPSRC College and also a member of IFAC Technical Committee on Marine Systems. He has been instrumental in bringing three international conferences to Belfast including the International Control Conference (Control2016) as the Local Organising Chair, 29th International Irish Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC2018) as the General Chair and the IFAC International Conference on Intelligent Control and Automation Sciences (ICONS2019) as the Co-Chair.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
