PLEASE JOIN OUR FRIDAY SEMINARS

The CCCN-CityU-PolyU Joint Seminar Series began in 2001, and has since become regular weekly meetings for visitors, faculty, researchers and students to discuss latest progresses in their research.

The next seminar is:

Date & Time:November 14, 2025, Friday, 4:30pm-5:30pm
Title: Optimal Control of Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Speaker: Dr Yulin Liu, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Venue:FYW-3316, CityU
Zoom ID 859 8869 4437
Password 123456
Abstract:

This seminar focuses on the application of advanced machine learning techniques in the optimal control of hydrogen fuel cells. The proposed methods possess the merits of superior control performance, model independence, low computational burden, and guaranteed closed-loop stability, which make them attractive for industrial applications that require robustness under uncertainty and low computational cost.

Speaker's Bio:

Yulin Liu received the B.E. degree in automation from the Southwest University, China, in 2018. He received his MPE degree in electrical and electronic engineering from The University of Western Australia (UWA), Australia, in 2020. He received his PhD degree in electrical and electronic engineering from UWA, Australia, in 2024. From 2024-2025, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the UWA, Australia. He joined the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), China, as a postdoctoral fellow in 2025. His research focuses on the intelligent control of energy storage systems in renewable energy power grids, and his research interests have recently extended to intelligent manufacturing.

Our Mission

The Centre for Complexity and Complex Networks aims to conduct emerging and cutting-edge research in the multidisciplinary area of complex systems and networks, including fundamental theory in dynamical networked systems and cyber physical systems, and applications in

  • epidemic progression modelling
  • energy systems and power grids
  • information and communication systems
  • transportation networks
  • resilience of critical infrastructures
  • cryptocurreny and blockchains
  • business and finance

Through the significant and groundbreaking contributions of its members to the fundamental theory of nonlinear science and applications over the past 20 more years, the centre has established itself as one of the leading research centres in the world focusing on nonlinear science, complexity and complex systems.

Our centre promotes inter-institutional and interdisciplinary collaborations, and supports the industrial and business development of Hong Kong and the mainland via technology transfer and joint research projects.
