    Acoustics: "The most dynamic and subtlest but yet cannot be disturbed".
    From the oldest Chinese classics, "I Ching" ~1000 BC.

Short Bio

    Xun Huang received his BEng degree in Astronautic Engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 1999, his MEng degree in Automatic Control from Tsinghua University in 2002, and his PhD degree in Aeronautic Engineering from the University of Southampton in 2006. He was a visiting student at Microsoft Research Asia in 2000 (IMU hardware design); a research engineer in Control Laboratory of the GE Global Research Center in 2003 (wind turbine control); a research fellow and then a lecturer at the University of Southampton from 2007 to 2009. He joined Peking University in 2009 as a member of State Key Lab of Turbulence, and acted as the associate head in Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics through 2014 and director of Acoustic Laboratory. He was appointed as an associate professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2016 and served as the director of the two MSc programs (Aeronautical Engineering, and International Air Transport Operations Management) until 2017, and was appointed as professor at Peking University and adjunct professor at HKUST in 2020.
    Prof. Huang's research interests include acoustics, flow control, and flight control and their emerging deep learning techniques. He has provided professional consultancies to a number of industry projects on acoustic measurements, microphone array, flow control and high-performance flight control, and the customers include many famous aerospace engineering companies such as Airbus, AVIC, CARDC, ACAE, CAST, CASIC and CASC. He has received Edison award of technology of excellence (GE 2003), best teaching award (PKU 2011), ICBC teaching award (PKU 2012), award of excellent young scholar (NSF China 2013), Newton advanced fellowship (Royal Society 2015), and Elsevier the most cited Chinese researcher (in Aerospace Engineering, 2015-2020).
