About the Author

Dr.Liu Lei is professor at the Dalian University of Technology in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China.His research interests mainly focus on the precision modelling and control of hysteretic dynamics, vibration isolation, modern control systems design and with the applications in precision engineering, aeronautics and astronautics. Dr Liu has developed the modelling and identification of accurate hysteretic dynamics as well as several compensation and control approaches for piezoelectric systems. The proposed modelling, identification and compensation methods have been demonstrated in experiments. Dr Liu has published more than 15 journal papers and conference papers in this field. Yi Yang was born in May 1965. She received the Ph.D. degree in optical engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in March 2001. Dr. Yang is currently the Deputy Chief in Engineer of Luoyang Institute of Electro-optical Devices in China. Dr. Yang is also the deputy to the Twelfth National People's Congress of China. Her current research interests mainly include development of the electro-optical devices, design of laser devices and photoelectric detection technology.
