Professor LIN Yan received the B.E. degree from Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Branch) in 1983, andthe M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA), Beijing, China, in 1988 and 1999, respectively. He is currently a Professorin the school of Automation, BUAA. His research interests include robust control and adaptive control.

Professor Lin Yan host and participated in a number of National Natural Science Foundation of China, Beijing natural science foundation, 863 Program, Doctoral Fund of Ministry of Education of China, and undertook a number of other research projects. He has published more than 40 SCI papers in top international journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Automatica and other international publications. He directed two doctoral students to receive the academic award of Ministry of education. He leaded many PhD doctoral students to get BUAA Innovation Fund. He directed three foreign doctoral students to fetch Beijing Beihang University Students Union scholarships. He has long been engaged in teaching about Control theory and Control engineering. He served as the head of national-level quality courses( Principles of Automatic Control), for the undergraduate students, and state bilingual education model curriculum.
