Gang Niu is a professor in Vehicle Engineering and Intelligent Science & Technology at Tongji University, Shanghai, China. He graduated from Beihang University in China, and received his Ph.D. degree in mechatronics engineering from Pukyong National University in South Korea. Dr. Niu has been working in the areas of intelligent maintenance and system health management for 20 years on rotating machinery, electronic systems and mechatronics control systems. Prior to joining Tongji, he spent several years working at China Aero-polytechnology Establishment (CAPE) as a lead engineer and City university of Hong Kong (CityU) as a research fellow. He has worked on and completed more than 20 projects in related-areas, funded by the NSF of China and industry. His current research interests are in the fields of hybrid PHM, data-driven AI, dynamic modeling analysis, non-stationary signal processing, and Digital twins. He has published over 150 articles mainly found in international journals like Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, ISA Transaction, Expert Systems with Applications, Structural Health Monitoring, Reliability Engineering and System Safety, IEEE TIM/TIE, etc. In the past ten years, he served as a vice chairman of the Steering Committee of IEEE Global Reliability & Prognostics and Health Management Conference. He is the editorial board member of 3 internal academic journals, and IEEE/CAA/CSVE Senior Member. He is also the Associate Editor for the Proc IMechE, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science.
