Dr. Pengfei Wang is an Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Emilia Fridman.

Pengfei’s primary research interest lies in robust and optimal control of systems described by partial differential equations (PDEs), such as traffic flows, robots with flexible components, and large-scale drones.

Pengfei is working on developing a constructive method with easily implementable and efficient inequality conditions for the control design of these PDE systems. He hopes that his research will contribute valuable tools to industrial production.

Pengfei was born and raised in a rural village in North Jiangsu, China. He completed his BSc, MSc, and PhD in applied mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. His doctoral research, under the supervision of Prof. Wenxue Li and Prof. Huan Su, focused on the robust control of stochastic hybrid systems. He was a visiting scholar at Tel Aviv University, supported by the China Scholarship Council, where he worked under the supervision of Prof. Emilia Fridman and explored the constructive finite-dimensional control of 1-D stochastic parabolic partial differential equations. When not engaged in research, Pengfei enjoys running, fishing, and cooking Chinese food.
