Tainan, Taiwan, April 21st, 2010
Chair Professor Tzyh-Jong Tarn of National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, is the first Chinese American to receive the John R. Ragazzini Award of The American Automatic Control Council (AACC), which will be presented at the 2010 American Control Conference during the Awards Ceremony on Thursday, July 1st, 2010 in Marriott Waterfront, Baltimore, Maryland.
The award is conferred in the recognition of his contributions to control education through teaching, mentoring of graduate students, research in control theory and applications to robotics.
NCKU Senior Executive Vice-President Da-Hsuan Feng hoped to rely on Prof. Tarn’s professional knowledge of system science and control theory and integrate them with the quantum scientific research at NCKU to create new nanotechnology research achievements. He also expected Prof. Tarn to pass on his knowledge of system science and control theory to the students at NCKU and create more opportunities for scientific research achievements.
The American Automatic Control Council (AACC) is an organization founded in 1956. It promotes cooperation among various segments of the automatic control profession in United States and represents U.S. to participate in international activities of automatic control. The association is a member of the International Federation of Automatic Control.
The American Automatic Control Council (AACC) is an association of the control systems divisions of eight member societies. These eight societies are American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, American Institute of Chemical Engineer, Association of Iron and Steel Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineer, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society and Society for Computer Simulation.
In recognition of their outstanding achievements in science and technology or control theory, The American Automatic Control Council issues five awards to five individuals annually. The five awards are The Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award, The Control Engineering Practice Award, The Donald P. Eckman Award, The John R. Ragazzini Award and The O. Hugo Schuck Award. The Ragazzini Award is given to recognize outstanding contributions to automatic control education in any form, such as electronic, publications and courses.
