JieBao is a Professor and currently Deputy Head, School of Chemical Engineering, the University of New South Wales (UNSW Australia). He obtained his B.E. and M.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering (Control Engineering) from Zhejiang University, China, in 1990 and 1993 respectively. In 1998, he received a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering (Process Control) from the University of Queensland. He spent one year at University of Alberta, Canada, as a postdoctoral fellow and then joined UNSW in 1999. He has been awarded 8 Australian Research Council Discovery Projects, one CSIRO National Flagship Research Cluster project and a number of industrial research grants. He leads the Process Control Research Group at UNSW to work on(1) mathematical control theory in distributed and networked control, plantwide process controllability analysis and dissipativity-based process control; (2) control of industrial processes including aluminium smelting, mineral processing, membrane separation and flow batteries. He has published over 200 refereed publications in the above areas, including a monograph on passivity/dissipativity theory based process control. He is an Associate Editor of Journal of Process Control.
