Prof. Ian Robert McAndrew

Capitol Technology University, Maryland, USA


Speech Title: Is Cybersecurity a need in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering?

Abstract: Mechanical and Aerospace engineering projects design their products to be safe from Cyber-attacks when in use. This paper argues that the design, manufacturing and service is as equally important. Examples of errors and problems from Cyber-attacks are addressed and the future implications presented. In particular, the role of data communications between automation and mechatronics of manufacture are critical in preventing attacks from any potential foreign power or competitor. It concludes that Cyber-security is frequently ignored and how industry must address individual needs.

Bio:Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering ; M.Sc. in Manufacturing MA in Education; Pg.D. in Education Training; B.A. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering; B.A. in Production Engineering A Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a Member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers. Dr McAndrew spent 12 years in industry as a designer before entering academia. He has over 25 years of teaching experience in the UK, Europe, Middle East and Far East. He has supervised many PhD students and published extensively for over 20 years. He is the author of several books and Editor of several international Journals. Currently he is a full professor at Capitol Technology University. His research interests are in Aerodynamics and cybersecurity of aviation systems, which he has published 60 peer reviewed journals and conferences. He has presented at many Conferences and believes these are critical research meetings for those that are new to research and the experienced to mentor the next generation.


Keynote Speaker II

Prof. Juntao Fei

College of IoT Engineering, Hohai University, China

Director of Institute of Electrical and Control Engineering


Speech Title: Novel Adaptive Neural Network Sliding Mode Control for Active Power Filter 

AbstractThis keynote speech presents an adaptive sliding mode controller based on a novel double hidden layer recurrent neural network algorithm to improve the performance of harmonic current compensation and system robustness of an active power filter. The double hidden layer neural network can improve the accuracy and generalization ability of the neural network, reduce the number of network weights and accelerate the network training speed owing to the strong fitting and presentation ability of two-layer activation functions. The feedback neural network plays the significant role in possessing associative memory and rapid system convergence. Simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the satisfactory performance of proposed controller under both dynamic and steady state operations, including robustness, fast response, and small overshoot for harmonic suppression
