Corresponding author.Gang Tao received his B.S. degree from Uni- versity of Science and Technology of China in 1982, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from University of Southern California during 1984 to 1989. He worked in areas of adaptive control, with particular interests in adaptive control of systems with multiple inputs and outputs and with non- smooth nonlinearities and actuator failures, in stability and robustness of adaptive control systems, and in pas- sivity characterizations of control systems. Recently he has been working on adaptive control of systems with uncertain actuator non- linearities and failures, structural damage and sensor uncertainties, for aircraft flight control applications. He published 6 books and over 250 papers in these areas. He served as an associate editor for Automatica, International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, and IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control. He is a fellow of IEEE.
