Danwei Wang received his Ph.D and MSE degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1989 and 1984, respectively. He received his B.E degree from the South China University of Technology, China in 1982.

Dr Wang is a professor in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Currently, he is the director, ST Engineering-NTU Corperate Lab (with approved research funding of S$52.5Million). From 2005 to 2011, Dr Wang served as the head, Division of Control and Instrumentation. He was the founding director of the EXQUISITUS, the Centre for System Intelligence and Efficiency (with active research funding of S$74Millions). He was a visiting scientist under the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in the University of Wuppertal, Germany during 1996-1997.

His research interests include robot active perception and multi-modal sensor fusion, robot autonomy, traffic signal control for urban road networks, fault diagnosis and prognosis for hybrid systems, satellite attitude control and formation flying, control theory and applications. He publishes in the areas of robot perceptions, multi-robot collaboration, manipulator/mobile robot dynamics, path planning, robust control, iterative learning control and adaptive control of such systems and position/force control systems, satellite formation flying and fault detection and isolation.

Dr. Wang is a Fellow of IEEE and has served as Chairman, Treasurer and member in the Control Chapter, and Robotics and Automation Chapter, IEEE Singapore Section. He served as an associate editor of IEEE Control Systems Society's Conference Editorial Board and IEEE robotics conferences (such as ICRA and IROS). He is also an associate editor of the International Journal of Humanoid Robotics.
