Rate My Professor Yue Wang

Dr. Yue Wang is a Professor and the Warren H. Owen - Duke Energy Professor of Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University. She serves as Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences (CECAS), Director of the Intelligent and Interdisciplinary Research (I²R) Laboratory, and currently as an NSF Program Director for Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics, and Foundational Research in Robotics programs. She earned her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Automation from Shanghai University in 2005, M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2008, Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution in 2011, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame from 2011 to 2012. Wang joined the faculty at Clemson University in 2012.

Wang's research lies at the intersection of systems and controls, formal methods, and machine learning, with a focus on human-robot interaction, autonomous systems, and multi-robot systems. Her contributions include trust-based control for human-robot collaboration systems, collaborative robotics for manufacturing, multi-robot symbolic motion planning with a human-in-the-loop, and human-aware control and learning for autonomous driving. She has authored over 100 journal articles, peer-reviewed conference papers, and book chapters, accumulating more than 3,000 citations. Selected publications include "Mutual Trust-Based Subtask Allocation for Human-Robot Collaboration in Flexible Lightweight Assembly in Manufacturing" (Mechatronics, 2018), "Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) for String Stable Mixed Traffic: Benchmark and Human-Centered Design" (IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2017), and "A Review of Communication, Driver Characteristics and Controls Aspects of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC)" (IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2015). Her work is supported by grants from NSF, AFOSR, AFRL, ARO, NASA EPSCoR, and Clemson University. Notable awards encompass the NSF CAREER Award (2015), AFOSR Young Investigator Program Award (2016), Air Force Summer Faculty Fellowships (2015 and 2016), and the Clemson University Mechanical Engineering Eastman Chemical Award for Excellence (2015). Wang is an ASME Fellow and IEEE Senior Member. She chairs the IEEE Control Systems Society Technical Committee on Manufacturing Automation and Robotic Control and serves as an associate editor for multiple IEEE and ASME journals.
